Beach Safari Tour (2 days)

NATURETOURISMCERTnew


Okay, this one is going to be very special. We have found some amazing places to visit and an unmissable place to stay. It is definitely a beach safari tour and some of our most enjoyable 4wdriving is up a deserted beach and we have found several of them.

The trip will start from Stockton where we will explore the dunes and southern reaches of Stockton beach. Morning tea will be enjoyed on the beach at its southern end. After departing the dunes and airing up we follow the highway north to Hawks Nest for lunch. We will head out to drive the lovely Bennett's Beach, & perhaps duck in for a swim if it is warm enough!

We will then make our way to Old Bar and our accommodation. Now, this is a very special place, look it up on google, its called the Boogie Woogie Beach House! Each of the rooms you will stay in are themed around past music masters. The Flow Bar (go with the flow) is downstairs along with our restaurant for the night. I think you will find this will be a great evening.

In the morning we have a highly recommended option for you to take, Neill and I did this on our reccie and it was truly spectacular, the problem is, it means you have to get up early. Like I said, this is optional, but for those keen, you will rise about 30 mins before sunrise and follow us onto the beach at Old Bar, and watch sunrise over the South Pacific Ocean, just spectacular! Then it is back to the Flow Bar for a big warm breakfast.

After brekkie we leave the Boogie Woogie Beach House & drive to the delightful little location of Manning Point. Here we enter the long white sandy beach and drive several kilometres south along the squeaky clean sand to the entrance of the waterway near Old Bar. This beach is rarely used and we will enjoy the freedom of beach driving and the spectacular views out to sea, keeping a look out for any passing whales. We then retrace back up the beach to Manning Point to check for dolphins before leaving the beach & reinflating tyres.

Following a stop at a great surf location we drive south to the delightful sea side town of Hallidays Point. You guessed it, we have another pristine beach to drive on. We will have lunch on the beach, & head south on the sand keeping a lookout for whales. This brings us to Tuncurry and we will follow the Great Lakes Way with one final amazing location to experience near Myall Lakes.

Sadly this amazing weekend comes to an end when we return to the sealed road near Bulahdelah.
