Bennetts Beach

Natural Attractions

Award-winning Bennett’s Beach is the most popular and easily accessed beach in the Myall River precinct of the Barrington Coast. The southern end of the beach is known as The Dolphin’s Playground and has surf suitable for both board riders and body surfers.

The Hawks Nest Surf Club lies three kilometres from Yacaaba Headland, at the southern end. There is a rugged track to the top of Yaccaba which offers stunning views of Port Stephens.

This beach is patrolled.

Dogs can be walked on leads only, between certain times on Bennetts Beach and Yaccaba.
