PORT MACQUARIE PORT MACQUARIE
Vibrant Port Macquarie is surrounded by beautiful waterways - the Hastings River, canals, creeks, bays and the Pacific Ocean. The
city also has a five-star collection of golden-sand beaches stretching from Port Macquarie Beach to Town Beach and north along
the 16 kilometre swathe of North Beach. A temperate climate, parks, gardens and walking trails make it a great place to enjoy
walks. The 9 kilometre Coastal Walk, from the breakwall on Town Green to Lighthouse Beach, is a great way to uncover this pretty
coastal city. Another way is on the water, on a cruise to see dolphins - or whales during the annual whale-watching season from
May to November. Cross the Hastings River on the historic vehicle ferry to visit the Limeburners Creek Nature Reserve where you
can spend the day swimming, bushwalking and wildlife watching.

• Winery visit to the Cassegrain Wines, Douglas Vale Historic Vineyard or
