A man in his 70s is believed to have drowned at a popular beach at Forster, on the NSW Mid North Coast this afternoon.
Emergency services were called to One Mile Beach just after 3pm when locals discovered the man's body washed ashore.
NSW Ambulance crews attended the scene but did not perform any operations as the man was deceased when they arrived.
Local police established a crime scene but have determined there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death.
Inspector Nick Seddon said the man's family had been notified and a report would be prepared for the coroner.
