After a big triathlon race effort at NSW Club Championships, few things feel as good as stepping into cool, salty water and letting your body exhale and recover. Forster is famous for its beaches, and several of them are perfect for that blissful post‑race recovery dip with your clubmates.
Whether you want to stay close by, or escape the crowds a little, we’ve done the scouting for you. Here are a few top spots locals and visiting athletes swear by:
One Mile Beach – The Classic Post‑Race Cool Down
One Mile is a favourite among athletes looking for space, quiet, and a long stretch of sand to unwind after racing.
Why you’ll love it:
- Wide, open beach with plenty of room to float, stretch, and reset
- Gentle rolling waves that soothe tired legs
- Easy parking and access
- Shaded dune areas ideal for relaxing after your dip
If you want a spacious spot to decompress with your club, One Mile is hard to beat.
Main Beach Forster — Convenient, Calm, and Close to Everything
Right in the heart of town, Main Beach is the easiest place to head straight after the event – especially if you’re staying nearby or want to grab a coffee immediately after.
Why it’s perfect for recovery:
- Generally calm conditions thanks to the breakwall
- Steps away from cafés for that essential post‑dip smoothie or flat white
- Easy meeting point for clubs and groups
- Close to the Club Champs event hub and club tents, so an ideal social spot
If convenience is your priority, Main Beach is your go‑to.
Pebbly Beach – For the Natural “Rock Spa” Experience
Pebbly Beach offers something a little different — a rocky reef, turquoise water, and natural pockets of calm that feel like nature’s own hydrotherapy.
Why athletes rate it:
- Crystal‑clear water ideal for gentle floating
- A natural “rock spa” sensation as the tide moves across the reef
- Great for slow, easy snorkelling if you want a low‑effort swim with a view
If you love a bit of adventure with your recovery, Pebbly is the spot.
