πŸ“– About Forster Beach

Forster Main Beach is the centrepiece of the Great Lakes town of Forster on the NSW Mid North Coast, an arc of golden sand sheltered by Bennetts Head and Cape Hawke. Regularly patrolled by lifeguards during summer, it is ideal for families and swimmers of all abilities, with the iconic Forster Ocean Baths (known locally as The Bull Ring) at its southern end. Nearby cafes, shops, and dog-friendly areas make it one of the region's most popular seaside destinations.
