The place to be
Dunbogan, a surfers paradise located just a 30-minute ride south of Port Macquarie, boasts seaside villages and the mouth of the Camden Haven River. North Haven, known for its al fresco cafes, shady barbecue spots, and epic surf beach, sits on the north side of the river. Across the way, you'll find the sheltered swimming beaches of Dunbogan and the bustling fishing village of Laurieton, nestled at the foot of North Brother Mountain.
Dominating the horizon is the majestic North Brother Mountain, located in Dooragan National Park. Take a scenic drive to the summit for panoramic coastal views or explore the natural diversity of Kattang through bushwalking, photography, birdwatching or fishing.
Start your day by watching the fishing fleet navigate the mouth of the Camden Haven River at sunrise, then hit up the Riverside Walk Markets for some local bargains. Take a stroll through the Reflective Gardens at St. Peter the Fisherman Catholic Church before indulging in a long al fresco lunch at one of the riverside cafes.
For an adventure, take a walk on one of the many trails in Dooragan National Park or Kattang Nature Reserve. Or for the ultimate coastal experience, drive to the top of North Brother for breathtaking views of both the coast and hinterland. Dunbogan, where the surf and natural beauty collide.
