Soldiers Point is on the end of a small peninsula stretching north from the Tomaree Peninsula in Port Stephens, New South Wales. This is the northernmost settlement on the peninsula, and a very popular tourist and holiday destination, not too far from Nelson Bay. It is believed to be named after the Corporal's Guard once stationed there and was previously called Friendship Point.

The settlement on Soldiers Point is relaxed and gentle. On Soldiers Point is a small marina and on either side are several sandy beaches, including Sunset Beach and Wanda Beach. There are numerous hotels, motels and other holiday accomodation for tourists, including Soldiers Point Holiday Park, but the town is not as busy or crowded as Nelson Bay. Visitors staying in Soldiers Point are close enough to the popular beaches in Port Stephens without being over crowded. It also allows fairly easy access to the wine tasting and vineyards of the Hunter Valley.

Port Stephens is about 200km north of Sydney. Take the 1 Pacific Highway to just north of Newcastle and then the 122 onto Tomaree Peninsula following signs for Nelson Bay, taking a junction north before Anna Bay.
