By Car

The Pacific Palms Recreation Club is located on The Lakes Way at Pacific Palms.

If visiting from points south, take The Lakes Way turnoff to your right just past the second Buladelah exit off the M1, and follow the road for around 35 minutes.

If visiting from the north, take the Forster exit from the Pacific Highway after Taree, and proceed through Tuncurry and Forster, along the Lakes Way. We are situated on the lake's shore about 20 minutes south of Forster.


By Boat

If you are coming by boat, we have a jetty right out the front of the Club where you can tie up whilst you enjoy lunch.

There's also a boat ramp for easy access to the lake.

Our Club Courtesy Bus covers the local Beaches, Smiths Lakes, Tarbuck Bay, Tiona and all places in between. Please note that due to road conditions we only pick up from the Sandbar turnoff. Courtesy Bus runs from 5pm weeknights and 12 midday Saturday and Sunday.
