Hawks Nest NSW

Enjoy Hawks Nest!

Surrounded by natural beauty and steeped in a village atmosphere Hawks Nest is a seaside village bordered by the ocean to the east and Port Stephens to the south. As a seaside village, Hawks Nest has the distinct beauty often associated with coastal destinations. Spectacular sunrises over pure white beaches. Sparkling ocean waters on a clear summer’s day. The sound of rolling surf along pristine beaches. On a perfect day you can walk seemingly endless sand dunes under wide blue skies.

As a riverside village Tea Gardens has its own special delights. Piping hot coffee on a chill winter’s morning. The timeless ebb and flow of a tidal river. Dining in riverside cafes and restaurants. An ice cold beer in the courtyard of the local hotel. 

These are just some of the delights you will find in Hawks Nest and its twin town Tea Gardens.
