User reviews
"This beach is a beautiful spot for swimming, but it's important to swim in areas where there are many people and security, as sharks are known to visit this area. In the morning, you can take a walk along the various beaches, which offer great routes for walking and exercising. Port Macquarie is truly breathtaking."
