West Haven suburb profile

West Haven is a small coastal suburb on the New South Wales mid north coast, close to Port Macquarie, with a relaxed, seaside village character. The area is made up of low-density residential streets where older beach cottages sit alongside more modern homes, and much of the appeal comes from easy access to beaches, foreshore reserves and pockets of coastal bush. It attracts people after a quieter coastal lifestyle, from families and retirees to owners of holiday homes, and while local shops and services are limited residents rely on the nearby regional centre for schooling, shopping and healthcare.
