At the mouth of the Hastings River, on the New South Wales coast, Port Macquarie is home to 17 unique beaches, offering everything from perfect surf to dog-friendly stretches and quiet spots for a BBQ. Town Beach has the ideal swell for surfers, Shelly Beach offers a quiet spot to relax and Flynns Beach is a family favourite.
