The twin towns of Forster-Tuncurry are separated by the Coolongolook River and are blessed with not one, but two stunning estuaries—the Wallis Lake and the Myall River. These waterways provide the perfect backdrop for activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing.
One of the iconic features of Forster-Tuncurry is the Forster Breakwall. This long expanse of rocks not only serves as a protective barrier for the harbour but also offers a scenic walkway that rewards visitors with stunning views of the coastline. As you stroll along the breakwall, you'll be treated to panoramic vistas of the ocean, Forster beach, and the town itself.
The beaches around Forster, particularly those stretching south to Cape Hawke, offer a blend of stunning natural beauty and serene coastal charm. Starting with the popular Forster Main Beach, this spot is ideal for families, boasting gentle waves, a rock pool, and easy access to nearby cafes.
Heading south, One Mile Beach is known for its expansive stretch of golden sand and rolling surf. It’s a favorite for both surfers and those looking for a quiet place to relax. The northern end of the beach features sand dunes that offer fun for kids and spectacular sunrises and sunset.
At the southernmost point, Cape Hawke offers panoramic views of the coastline after a short but rewarding hike to the top of the lookout. This area provides a fantastic vantage point to soak in the beauty of the region.
