All MidCoast Council customer service points, offices, libraries, depots, visitor information centres and facilities will be closed on Friday 18 October for the annual Union Picnic Day. Our landfills, waste services and kerbside waste collection will operate as usual.
Bennetts Beach, also known as Hawks Nest Beach, runs a distance of 14.3 km from Seal Rocks to the north and Yacaaba to the south.
This beach is patrolled during the swimming season (October to April) by both professional life guards during school holidays and by volunteer surf life savers on weekends and public holidays.
We control an area of 3.7 km from Hawks Nest Caravan Park Reserve in the north to Providence Bay Reserve to the south. Adjacent to the Hawks Nest Caravan Park is the Hawks Nest, Tea Gardens Surf Life Saving Club which has public toilets and car parking facilities.
With car parking available as well as public toilets the area is very popular for community events and private functions such as wedding ceremonies and family get-togethers. The surf club also hosts surf carnivals during the year.
