Dolphins in Forster/Tuncurry
Always keep a watch out for Dolphins, they come all the way into the bay under the bridge fishing....you can walk out to the breakwater on the Tuncurry (north side of the bridge) and watch them come in on the tide near sundown; or on the south side walk out past the Marine Rescue. Get some fish and chips from Forster’s Main Street and take a picnic.
