With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up all that Hawks Nest, 25 miles away, has to offer. See the sights starting with Tea Gardens-Hawks Nest Bridge, Jimmys Beach and Winda Woppa Reserve. Situated 35 miles away, Taree is another popular choice. If you stop by, don’t miss Taree Central, Taree Golf Club and Wingham Brush Nature Reserve.
