Just a few hours north of Sydney via the Oxley Highway turnoff, situated
on the mid north coast of NSW, Port Macquarie is a water lover’s haven, with eight stunning beaches to choose from.
Begin your day with Yoga on Town Beach. Fantastic exercise for all ages and stages. If you’ve never tried Yoga this is your opportunity, for as little
as AU$12.00/ NZ$15.50 you’ll begin your day feeling invigorated and energised. Head south along Pacific Drive, past Flagstaff Hill and you can picnic on the grass at Oxley Beach. The more active can find patrolled swimming and surfing at Flynns Beach or head south to Shelly Beach for
more protected swimming. If you’ve always wanted to try surfing and never been brave enough, contact the Port Macquarie Surf School where the Hudson family will share their expertise.
There’s probably no better way to combine scenery and exercise than
to take in the azure backdrop of the Pacific Ocean by taking the 9km walk from the Town Green foreshore all the way to Lighthouse Beach.

If you’re looking for entertainment, then you have to try the unique experience of ambling along the golden sands of Lighthouse Beach on the
back of a camel. It’s the perfect vantage point to catch sight of dolphins riding the waves and at the right time of
year, you can even spot a whale or two. Port Macquarie Camel Safaris run
six days a week and a 30-minute ride costs AU$30 / NZ$38 for adults and AU$25 / NZ$32 for children.
For something a little more leisurely and romantic why not tempt the tastebuds with a visit to Douglas Vale Homestead and Vineyard. Committed to preserving the homestead for
future generations and classified by the National Trust, the Douglas Vale Conservation Group is a non-profit organisation. Tours and wine tastings are available on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday between 10am - 3pm. Pack a picnic for two to enjoy amongst the stunning rose gardens. EV
