With its beautiful stretch of sand backed by wild dunes, Hawks Nest is a classic Aussie seaside destination, offering water sports, boating, fishing and surfing as well as an impressive smattering of cafes, restaurants and galleries to reflect its chilled coastal vibe. Just a few hours north of Sydney, the town is accessed via a bridge across the Myall River from Tea Gardens, the gateway to the Myall Lakes National Park in all its watery and bushland glory. Separated from Port Stephens by the prominent Yacaaba Headland, Hawks Nest is best defined by its spectacular ocean beach, which is patrolled at the southern end (also known as Bennett`s Beach). Meanwhile, on the bayside, tranquil Jimmy`s Beach offers sheltered areas for children to play in and is popular with picnickers. For a sensational overview of the region, take the challenging, 6km Yacaaba Headland Walking Track, ascending 228m from Bennett`s Beach through tall open forest and a rocky ridgeline to the summit. From the top, you can see as far as Seal Rocks and Barrington Tops, with Ezy Kayaks Hawks Nest or Lazy Paddles.
