Forster is the main town in the Great Lakes region of New South Wales, 300km north of Sydney. Whether you’ve come to Forster for its majestic lakes, stunning beaches, whale watching or to gorge on delicious oysters, you can be sure of a fantastic time. Hop into your Hertz car and make some memories with these fantastic activities.
The most popular beaches are Forster Main Beach (home to Forster Ocean Baths), One Mile Beach and Pebbly Beach (which is actually sandy). Snorkelers will find plenty to enjoy on most beaches around Forster, although the clear waters of Wallis Lake are a particularly highlight. Body boarders and surfers will love One Mile Beach and Nine Mile Beach.
From May to November, whales, including humpbacks and southern right whales, migrate along the New South Wales coast. Take a boat tour to get up close, or you could just watch whales - and dolphins - from land. Hike up to Cape Hawke for an excellent vantage point.
