Tuncurry is a delightful coastal town situated on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, Australia. Together with its twin town Forster across the bridge, it forms a spectacular holiday destination surrounded by water. The area is famous for its memorable lakes, pristine beaches, and abundant marine life, making it a paradise for nature and water lovers. The coastline here is incredibly diverse. Visitors can explore the gentle waters of the Tuncurry Rockpool or enjoy the ocean waves at Pebbly Beach and Forster Main Beach. For those willing to venture slightly further, the spectacular One Mile Beach and the secluded Burgess Beach offer incredible coastal walks and swimming spots. Seafood is a major drawcard in Tuncurry, particularly the famous local Sydney Rock Oysters harvested directly from Wallis Lake. The town features excellent local bakeries, cafes, and waterfront dining options. Access is via the Pacific Highway, located about a three-hour drive north of Sydney.
