Port Macquarie
Port Macquarie has beaches, beaches, beaches. Seventeen of them, in fact. Swim, surf or enjoy sunrise views over the ocean.
You might see dolphins or whales breaching the surface, kangaroos hopping across the sand at dusk or camels meandering in front of the lighthouse. Yes, camels! Play golf, hike into the hinterland, wander through national parks or bike along the coastline. The dining scene is great, with cooking classes and produce fresh from the farm. For a taste of rosy sunshine, stop at a hydroponic farm to pick your own strawberries.
