A man’s body has been found in waters on the NSW Mid North Coast, a day after a surfer drowned in the NSW Hunter region.

Police were called to Treachery Beach about 7.15pm on Sunday after personal belongings were found on the sand, while no swimmer could be seen.

A man’s body was found about 100 metres off shore after a search involving the Westpac Rescue Helicopter and surf lifesavers on jetskis. 

The body has not been formally identified, but is believed to be a 48-year-old man.

It was the second consecutive day a person has died from drowning in NSW, after a surfer’s body was found at a secluded beach in the NSW Hunter region on Saturday.

The alarm was raised after the man, believed to be a 44-year-old, went surfing near Shoal Bay on Saturday morning but didn’t return home.

Police found his body in the surf off Wreck Beach, a secluded spot only accessible by water or a long walk from the car park.
