Hawks Nest sits between the Myall River and the ocean, surrounded by Myall Lakes National Park. It’s a small town with a relaxed pace and plenty to do outdoors.
Beaches and waterways
Bennetts Beach is the main surf beach, while Jimmys Beach offers calm water on the Port Stephens side. The river is popular for paddling, fishing and boating.
Getting around
The Singing Bridge connects Hawks Nest with Tea Gardens, where you’ll find more shops, cafes and services. Newcastle is around an hour’s drive away.
Thinking about making the move? I’m happy to share what I know about the different streets and pockets of town.
