The Mid North Coast of New South Wales runs from Forster-Tuncurry north to Nambucca Heads, taking in Port Macquarie, Crescent Head, South West Rocks and the Camden Haven. It is known for patrolled surf beaches, weekly farmers and community markets, and a string of Surf Life Saving Clubs along the coast.
Market Crawl routes worked out on the ground — which market first, where to park, what to stop for on the way — with our own additions along the route. These are the ones still to come.
Sixteen things worth doing. It saves itself on this phone, so you can come back to it all week.

Beachcombers Quest
2026 · Mid North Coast NSW
As you embark on your adventure along these stunning shores, we invite you to join us in acknowledging and respecting the traditional custodians of this land. They have walked these beaches and cared for these waters for thousands of years, and their profound connection to this land continues to this day.
The Coastal Crusader Pledge
As a devoted Coastal Crusader, I solemnly swear to:
Respect Mother Nature: I'll beachcomb with care, keeping the peace with all the critters and critters' homes.
Clean Sweep: I vow to out-trash the beach, especially collecting pesky plastics that hassle our underwater pals.
Safety First: I'll ride the waves of safety, sticking to the path, watching the tides, and steering clear of off-limits spots.
Honour History and People: I'll tip my hat to historical spots and follow the locals' lead, recognising the tales these lands hold.
Learn and Share: I'll soak in knowledge like a sponge, diving into marine mysteries and sharing my wisdom to spread the coastal love.
Admire, Don't Acquire: I get it — shells are cool, but they're cooler in the wild. I'll snap pics and leave no footprint behind.
