Port Macquarie Town Beach Breakwall

A walk along this iconic breakwall provides you with stunning views of the Hastings River towards Town Beach. The colourful graffiti rocks that lead you along the breakwall are a collage of messages, tributes and memories from visitors and locals. We recommend visiting during a sunrise or sunset, as you’ll see the sky change colour right before your eyes. You may even spot dolphins playing in the river!

Iconic to Port Macquarie, the Bago Maze is the largest maze in NSW with the hedges over 2.3metres high. Get lost in the maze and discover lookout towers, bridges, boardwalks and sunken paths. As the walker approaches the end of the maze they will pass through a section representative of a bunch of grapes and exit at a point where grapes become wine.
