Forster Beach is adjacent the southern breakwater in Forster. Patrolled in season, it has ammenities, a kiosk, picnic facilities and ocean baths at its eastern edge. Adjacent the baths is Second Head and on the southern side of this headland is Pebbly Beach which is another good surfing spot.

A little further south is The Tanks, an unusual rock formation where the waves spray water into a protected safe swimming area.
