So many of us dream of a laidback life by the beach. And with the pressures of the city, rising costs of living, and other coastal hotspots pricing buyers out, The Crescent is an affordable opportunity to make the change. Be closer to nature and the ocean, within reach of regional centres, and surrounded by likeminded, family-friendly people. It's the perfect place to bring up children and grandchildren, to slow down, and take in life as it should be. Crescent Head enjoys a sense of quiet and isolation, yet it's less than 20 minutes from Kempsey. Thanks to excellent freeway infrastructure, Port Macquarie's airport is 45 minutes away, and Coffs Harbour to the north less than 90 minutes. Southwest Rocks and Hat Head lie a little to the north with stunning National Park beaches, tracks and lookouts dotting the coast in between. Crescent Head's stunning 3.5km coastline has been a National Surfing Reserve since 2008. Surfers from all over the world have flocked to Crescent Head to experience the incredible breaks, known for a slow right-hand wave best suited to longboards. The coastline is well-protected by the Goolawah Reserve and Limeburners Creek Nature Reserve, making this small town a surfing and adventure haven.
