Tomaree Head

Reviewed By DebB123123 - Lismore, Australia

Paved path up the hill for about 600m with some seating for rests, then you can go sideways for 650 m to see the WW11 bunker which was just an empty shell and not worth it, or walk up to the summit, it does have sections of steep metal stairs with narrow steps, but then more gentle areas to get your breath back before the next stairs. The path wraps around the hill near the top to give great views of the coast and 2 viewing platforms at the top where I saw 2 whales and a pod of dolphins, well worth the effort

Zenith Beach

Reviewed By sabsnores - Sydney, Australia

We were thrilled to find this quiet beach away from the much busier parts of Nelson Bay. Pitched our tent and relaxed in peace for the day. Beach was clean, water was a little choppy but that didn't stop us enjoying ourselves.

Box Beach

Reviewed By ChrissyPortmacquarie - Port Macquarie, Australia

Once you park the car up from the Tomaree Head carpark you follow the fire trail for about 25 mins until you get to the beautiful, usually isolated beach. Great flannel flowers on the way. Beach is very picturesque and a great place to experience a quiet swim away from the crowds.
