Nice little spot by the water where dolphins love to play. Lots of parking and tonnes of cafes within walking distance.

What a beautiful place to soak in the views of Forster-Tuncurry! Gregory Reserve has such a peaceful atmosphere, and the walk is top-tier. I noticed the boardwalk uses high-quality flexible mesh and plastic boards, making it a really smooth, well-engineered path for everyone to enjoy. It’s fantastic to see the area being upgraded sustainably with the new Pelican Boardwalk extension. Make sure to check out the historical markers about the 1890s ferry crossing while you're there. On one side you have Miles Island beach, and on the other, a lovely walk to John Holland Park. I’ve included some photos and a video of the water feature to show just how scenic it is. A must-visit if you’re in town!
