McBrides Beach can be found on the southern outskirts of Forster along Cape Hawke Road. It's one of those beaches that has you instantly mesmerised and is as good as it looks. It really is the ideal place to escape for the day. However, it can only be accessed by a rough 4WD-Only road or if you're fit you can attempt a steep walk!
