general information
The main beach of the town at Forster. the beach is bound at the northern end by the breakwall and to the south are the Forster Ocean baths commonly known as 'the Bull Ring'. The beach itself has waves usually too small for anything serious, unless the swell is big and out of the east or northeast. In this case a wave can break off the wall while in a massive east swell, a righthander forms in the southern corner. Sure to be busy here. If there's swell try walking south around the headland from the BullRing for a look.
