Recreational activities include surfing, swimming, fishing, and snorkelling, while the Booti Booti National Park offers bushwalking and wildlife spotting. The nearby village of Pacific Palms provides a small shopping precinct, the Blueys Beach store, and local cafés, with Forster (20 km north) providing full services including supermarkets and a hospital.
