With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore all that Broke, 17 miles away, has to offer. Margan Family Wines, Mount Broke Wines and Krinklewood Vineyard alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Newcastle, 25 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Newcastle Beach. (But we’d also recommend Charlestown Square and Nobbys Head Beach.)
