Public BBQ

This pristine location marks the entrance point of coastal rivers and creeks characteristic of the region, offering spectacular ocean views with sightlines to neighboring coastal towns.

Clean, modern toilet facilities and convenient parking enhance visitor comfort, with nearby shops and the excellent Buyi coffee venue providing refreshment options among tree-lined outdoor seating. A short drive from vibrant Taree, this worthwhile detour from the highway reveals coastal areas often missed by speed-focused travelers. Small villages nearby offer coffee breaks for road-trippers.
