Are you ready? Can you guess where we are headed next? Yes, you're right! Welcome to the Sandbox, a little-known natural haven in the heart of Port Macquarie-Hastings. As if plucked from a child's imagination, the sweeping landscape of the Sandbox is a picturesque blend of dramatic sand dunes, lush green vegetation, and shimmering beaches.\n\nAs your local guide, I often escape to the serene beauty of Sandbox to recharge, so this place holds a special place in my heart. You see, this tranquil environment, captivates not only your eyes but also your senses. Close your eyes for a moment and listen. Can you hear the soundtrack of nature, the rustling leaves, the whispering breeze, the lapping waves? Now open your eyes and take in the panoramic feast of colours before you. It is truly a unique part of our region.\n\nI have a fascinating anecdote to share about Sandbox. In the 1960s, it served as a natural hideout for bohemian artists who were drawn to its tranquillity. Their impromptu beachside art gatherings significantly influenced the local artistic culture, leading to vibrant, creative murals scattered throughout the Sandbox.\n\nNow, as you saunter through the dunes, I'd like to challenge you. Can you find one of these hidden murals? They are subtly etched into the rocks, often camouflaged by the moss. It is like a secret handshake, known only to those who truly know the Sandbox. Remember, it's not about finding it quickly; rather it's about truly immersing yourself in the journey, taking your time to wander and appreciate everything around you.\n\nOnce you've taken it all in, and hopefully found one or two murals, gather around the shaded area under the Eucalyptus tree, fondly known as \"The Artists Retreat.\" There, local providers have set up a pop-up picnic, sourced from local markets, which will tantalise your tastebuds with the region's fresh produce.\n\nAs we stand here, let's soak in the sheer grandeur of the Sandbox, relish in its richness while also understanding its fragility. Let's take a moment to respect this beautiful site and consider how we can continue its preservation for future generations.\n\nAs you're finishing with taking in the beauty, tasting the treats, and pondering on the marvel that is the Sandbox, just let me know when you're ready, and we'll continue our exciting journey. In the meantime, I'd be delighted to answer any questions about our remarkable Sandbox and its unique blend of culture, nature, and history."}]},{"address":"Shelly Beach","ttsFile":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FrFaQUthR4fgSq4cDSDE9%2Ftts_4.mp3?alt=media&token=18248103-b7ec-42a1-99a9-f440989d8513","placeId":null,"location":{"longitudeDelta":0.18593639059244998,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":-31.45873085971573,"longitude":152.93272355},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Shelly Beach🌞🐚"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FrFaQUthR4fgSq4cDSDE9%2Fshelly.jpeg?alt=media&token=823c610b-b27d-4309-87ce-e4848ad05bff"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FrFaQUthR4fgSq4cDSDE9%2Fshelly%202.jpeg?alt=media&token=a74568e6-05b3-4c0f-a8a4-8baec5e1f85d"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FrFaQUthR4fgSq4cDSDE9%2Fshelly%201.jpeg?alt=media&token=925e01fb-15a4-4e25-99dc-4b9e46198cac"},{"type":"link","title":"Shelly Beach","content":"https://www.visitnsw.com/destinations/north-coast/port-macquarie-area/port-macquarie/attractions/shelly-beach-port-macquarie"},{"type":"text","content":"Welcome, fellow adventurers, to our enthralling location, the Shelly Beach! Can any of you guess why it carries this unique name? Yes, you're spot on! It owes the title to the wonderful seashells that the sea graciously leaves on its shore.\n\nA vital part of our Walk n’ Fork journey with Port Macquarie-Hastings, our objectives are straightforward; to enjoy the panoramic splendour of this area, get absorbed in its magnificent culture, and of course, to take pleasure in distinct and flavoursome local cuisine.\n\nResponding to the common query about the best locations for swimming and witnessing the sunrise by the Port Macquarie Hastings Council, nothing can parallel the experience of witnessing a sunrise at Shelly Beach. It’s genuinely awe-inspiring to watch the dawn break, and the sand and sea transform into a magical turquoise palette. And the waters of this sea? They are not just a delight for your sight, but also refreshing and inviting.\n\nLet's explore Shelly Beach's smooth sands, take this opportunity to pick a shell that captures your fancy. Each, an art piece designed by nature, speaks volumes about the magnificent underwater ecosystem here - be it the vibrant cone shells or the delicate angel wing shells.\n\nDid you know Shelly Beach is a key nesting ground for the endangered Green Sea Turtles? If we're fortunate enough with a keen eye set to the headland, we might witness one many around especially during the breeding season. This reason is among multiple others, why Hastings Council relentlessly works towards conserving this coastline.\n\nAfter soaking in the sun, do venture into Snorkelling at the Shelly Beach Lagoon, conveniently located straight in front of the car park. It's an opportunity not to be missed to explore the local marine life up close. Savour the local food delicacies, and once you're ready, signal me, and we'll set off to our next stop. An enticing location infused with Port Macquarie-Hastings' colourful history is waiting to be explored.

Tracing its path into the heart of the town, we eventually arrive at our eagerly anticipated stop - the quaint and charming, Little Shack.\n\nTucked beneath the shade of fringed umbrellas, we ready ourselves for a feast. On the menu this afternoon, a sumptuous lobster roll paired with a refreshing brew - locally sourced and served with an authentic Australian touch. Now, can you just imagine the flavours?\n\nNestled amongst the eucalyptus trees, with the aroma of fresh, home-style cooking wafting through the air, the Little Shack truly puts the culture of Port Macquarie-Hastings on full display. The spirit of its builder, the old geezer Mick, remains as vibrant as ever. With passions for surfing and feeding weary travelers, his vision created this sanctuary that harmoniously combines food, respite and the Australian spirit.\n\nIn the worn planks and faded tablecloths, the sincerity and simplicity of this haven truly shine. As we enjoy our time under those fringed umbrellas, take a moment to appreciate the rustic charm of the Little Shack. Notice how its authenticity mirrors life – raw and unmediated.\n\nIn the Little Shack, you don’t just eat – you experience. Nestled away from the pandemonium of commercial tourism, it's a snapshot of the local life waiting to be discovered. So, while here, let's make the most of it. Sip on your brew, savour the lobster, and revel in these surroundings.\n\nOnce you've soaked up everything the Little Shack has to offer, I wanted to extend a thank you for joining us on this tour of Port Macquaire. I hope you made countless memories today and we look forward for you to come back and visit!\n\n"}]}]
