Best places to paddleboard

There are lots of great places to paddleboard in Forster – Tuncurry and the surrounds. Wallis Lake spans over 1400 square kilometres with plenty of great spots to paddleboard that cater to different abilities. Breckenridge channel (located behind the Wharf Street Forster) is a perfect protected spot to try your hand at paddleboarding. There are several boat sheds located on Memorial Drive and Little Street that hire out paddle boards year-round.

If you’re an experienced paddleboarder and you have brought your own, then you may wish to take your chances at one of the local surfing spots, perhaps at Forster’s Main Beach or One Mile Beach where you will often share the waves with some playful dolphins. 

Here is a list of some local businesses that rent our paddleboards: 

You can also hire paddle boards at Pacific Palms from Pacific Palms SUP located at Frothy Coffee at the beautiful Smiths Lake- https://www.pacificpalmssup.com.au/ 

Best spots to wakeboard

You won’t have far to launch your boat if you are staying in town with the boat ramps located across the road from the main street of Forster, next to Paradise Marina on Little Street, Forster or at Forster Keys. 

Wallis Lake and the surrounding rivers are a wakeboarders or boating enthusiasts dream! Perhaps the most popular place to wakeboard is located on the southern side of Wallis Island that runs towards Coomba Bay, or the western side of Regatta Island. 

Forster Keys is also a popular place to enjoy a family day on the water with a park running parallel to the water, making it ideal for onlookers. Forster Keys links up to Wallis Lake through Coomba Park so you can launch your boat and enjoy a full day exploring the beautiful views. 

The average depth of the lake is 2.3 metres (7 ft 7 in), and there usually are plenty of spots that you can find to avoid prevailing winds making it a perfect playground for wakeboarding, water skiing or tubing. 

Best spots to mountain bike

Tipriders is arguably the largest network of mountain biking trails on the Eastern Seaboard. What started out 20 years ago as a couple of trails that a small group of friends made to ride on weekends, has grown into nearly 70 kilometres of hand-cut mountain bike specific single trail! The system is often referred to as the ‘Tip Trails’, owing to their proximity to the Taree Waste Management Centre. But that’s where their similarity to rubbish ends because these trails are pure mountain biking gold. 

Unlike other trail systems that are based upon only one or two ‘loops’, the Kiwarrak trails are an interconnected ‘web’ of trails that intersect each other many times over. This provides riders with the opportunity to ‘choose their own adventure’ by giving them almost unlimited options of which trails to follow in order to stitch together their ride. Add to this the fact that 95% of the trails are non-directional (you can ride them both ways), and you have a trail network that offers riders an almost infinite number of paths to take. 

The park and its volunteer builders embrace all styles of riding. From fast and flowy cross country (XC) trails to gravity-fed enduro style trails complete with purpose-built structures such as jumps, bridges, wall-rides, drops and roller coasters. The local mountain biking fraternity and the Manning-Great Lakes Tip Riders proudly recognise the efforts of all trail builders and maintainers, past and present. 

We’re also completely chuffed to let it be known that the original trail builders who cut those very first trails all those years ago are still building and maintaining trails today!

Best Italian restaurants in Forster

Bella Bellissimo 

Since 2003, Frank and Teresa have been offering traditional Italian cuisine from Bella Bellissimo – sharing food and passion with Forster locals and visitors. what they serve is more than what you eat — it’s the conversation you have with Frank; that special Italian wine that isn’t on the menu yet; zucchini flowers that they grow on their farm. This is what makes their food a meal. 

From a young age, Teresa was always interested in what her mother and grandmothers were cooking. One of her earliest childhood memories was of tasting raw meatball because that was how her grandmother tasted for seasoning. Thankfully, she is not doing the same with her grandkids, but it was what sparked her love of food, and how the experience BECAME so much more than just sustenance. 

When Frank and Teresa got married, it was generations of family recipes coming together. Their pizza dough, amongst other recipes, is over 30 years old and is often joked amongst the Nardi family, as only being passed on to outsiders once they are married into the family (actually, no joke). “Our experience of food and family is so important, and we want to share it with everyone.”

Italian food, and especially southern Italian food — which is often regarded as peasant food — is beautiful in its simplicity. it’s all about the fresh, quality ingredients, which is why we only use the best, seasonal ingredients, that we source both locally and from Italy. Frank does a killer job growing some of our produce, and it really can’t get any better than that.

With generations of food, friends and family, Frank’s mother (née Bellissimo) is still remembered as one of the best cooks. That’s why we pay homage to the beautiful woman with our name — Bella Bellissimo.

View the Bella Bellissimo Menu here!

Pezzella’s

If you have a love for Italian cuisine, then Pezzella’s is an absolute must-visit. Italian food culture is much more than a way to simply satisfy a grumbling stomach – and eating is more than the physical act of satisfying that grumble. To eat in Italy is to celebrate togetherness. It’s a time when strangers become family around a table, good friends share a bottle of wine, stories are told, and hands take centre stage. 

Put simply, to eat in Italy is an occasion, an experience that marries simple yet exquisite tastes with passion, conversation and connection.

The Melanzane that Nonno grew, watered, tended to daily and picked is now a revived Parmigiana sitting at the dinner table. In Italy, food is less about what sits on the grocer shelf and more about what your neighbour is growing this season. It’s about what is flourishing at the local farmers market – or who in the village is slaughtering their pigs next. It is an all-encompassing process from paddock to plate that combines seasonal produce, family recipes passed down from generation to generation and a whole lot of love with every stir of the “pentola“.

From our time in Italy, this is what we fell in love with. And what we strive to replicate at Pezzella’s. A small menu with an array of handmade traditional Italian dishes, with ingredients sourced as locally and organically as possible. Here at Pezzella’s we encourage big meals, great company, laughs, stories all shared over a bottle of wine or Negroni or two. Buon appetito!

Whale Watching North of Sydney

During the whale watching season from June to late November, why not head out to sea with Amaroo Cruises. Experience an unforgettable Whale Watching Tour aboard the brand new $2.1M Whale Watching Adventure Cruise vessel the “AMAROO.” It will carry you into a wonderful world of majestic whales, where dreams come true. Humpback whales are the most inquisitive and acrobatic of all the great whales. They love to leap out of the water, smash their huge tails and pectoral fins against the surface, and will often approach the boat for a closer look.

Dolphin cruises run most days at 10:00 am (weather permitting). The cruise duration is approximately 2½-3 hours and includes morning tea. There are approximately 250-300 resident inshore Bottle-Nosed dolphins inhabiting the waters of Forster/Tuncurry. These local dolphins seem to be as interested in The Amaroo as we are in them. Further offshore you may encounter Common dolphins, sometimes massing in the hundreds – all as one pod. Quite a spectacle to say the least!

Dolphin Watch Cruises depart most days at 10:00 am from late November to May. These Common Dolphins are very active. Groups often surface, jump, splash and play together. The third species of dolphin you may also stumble upon is the Oceanic Dolphin. Sea birds including Ospreys, White Bellied Sea Eagles, Whistling Kites, Gannets and Albatross are a common sight, along with sharks, seals, penguins and turtles being frequently sighted

Reel Ocean Adventures

As passengers walk around the deck, they will be able to take photos and videos to relive their experience to friends and family.

What are the best walks in Forster Tuncurry?

Sometimes, the best way to explore the best natural beauty, points of interest and attractions is on foot. Forster Tuncurry doesn’t disappoint on the walking trail front. Here are some of the best.

Forster – Tuncurry bridge around to the break walls. 

Start at Beach Bums and grab a coffee, head north around to Forster Breakwall past the Forster Boat Harbour. Continue around to the bridge and walk along the dedicated path over the Bridge. Once to the end head to the right and walk around to Tuncurry Breakwall. 


Forster boat harbour to Bennetts Head bicentennial lookout around to One Mile Beach. 

Start at Forster Boat Harbour which can be accessed from the main street, head around to the right through the back of the caravan park, head past Forster Main beach and up the cliffs on the south end. Walk past Pebbly Beach and the Tanks, head up Frewin’s walk and continue up the hill along the cliffs to the lookout. Head to the right of the lookout down the windy paths through the bush until you get to the Sand Dune at One Mile Beach.


Cape Hawke lookout. 

Positioned right at the northern end of the national park, this superb lookout is worth every step of the 500m hike through regenerating littoral rainforest. Pull-on your walking shoes and bring some binoculars and a camera – after approximately 420 steps you’ll reach an 8.4m tower with 360-degree views of the surrounding area. There’s Booti Booti to the south and Wallingat National Park beyond and slightly to the west. On a clear day, you can even see as far as Barrington Tops and Crowdy Bay National Park. Birdwatching is wonderful year-round here, with pelicans and terns in great abundance, but winter holds an extra special surprise – whales break the surface of the sea, blowing water, and there’s no better place to watch them in their annual migration.


Rainforest walk – North end – one-mile beach – suitable for dogs. 

Head to the Northern end of the beach to where the toilets are, instead of walking out to the beach on the path head to the left to a walkway between the Golf course and the Toilets. This beautiful short walk is on a raised path and suitable for all ages. You walk along through the rainforest and end up at a small lookout at the end of the beach near the sand dunes.
