Must do
Port Macquarie is a resort and leisure centre that makes the most of its superb location. It's a coastal resort city at the mouth of the Hastings River.
About Port Macquarie
Port Macquarie has a stirring history that began almost with the earliest days of European settlement in Australia. Today, the town still has many tangible reminders of that period and these are among its attractions.
The city has a five-star array of beaches from Port Macquarie Beach to Town Beach at the very front of the city centre; to the 16 km golden swathe of North Beach on the far side of the Hastings River.
Port Macquarie also has a fine range of accommodation, dining and activity options that make this a favourite for families and an outstanding choice for a holiday base. Be sure to cross the Hastings River on the vehicle ferry and visit the Limeburners Creek Nature Reserve and spend the day swimming, bushwalking and wildlife watching.
