The peaceful village of Stuarts Point, 43kms north of Kempsey, is situated on the river and is only a short walk from long white sandy beaches. The miles of peaceful beaches are only interrupted by the rocky outcrops of Grassy Head and Middle Head.

Swimming, surfing, and excellent beach and river fishing are favourite pastimes. The river is popular with fishermen as it is said to be the blackfish breeding grounds of the Macleay and Blue Swimmer and Mud Crabs can be found there.

The caravan park is situated right on the banks of the river and people can drag their fishing boats onto the sand just outside their site or watch as the children enjoy water sports at their front door.

Stuarts Point has a small shopping centre, restaurants, a tavern, tennis courts and the Bowling Club has two bowling greens. Units and cottages are available for holiday lettings, cabins are nestled in the bushland, there is a lodge that specialises in fishing holidays, a rainforest retreat guesthouse and an island in the river that features self contained log cabins.
