Get distracted by Swan Bay, enjoy the escape from the rat race
Only 5 - 10 minutes of the highway just south of Karuah, and your on the bay. If your looking to picnic by the water, have a paddle, stretch you legs, take the dog for a walk, let the kiddies run wild or throw in a line without fighting the crowds, Swan Bay is a great place to stop. Best to take your own munchies though - there's not a lot to offer in the way of shops and cafes.
