Port Macquarie Surf Breaks
A mixture of sand and reef bottoms. There are plenty of breaks to choose from on this part of coast. The likes of Trapdoors can create some epic long reeling right handers but tends to need a big swell. Head south all the way down to Yacaaba Head-Boulders and you'll discover just how many beaches this coast has to offer. They be may close on the map, but are quite a drive away, the road network is good and there are plenty of facilities up and down the coast for a traveler.
