Yamba is one of those weirdly magical places that makes you feel nostalgic for it, even while you’re there. With stunning headlands, an array of beaches to suit every mood and a small-town charm from yesteryear, Yamba feels like a cherished memory come to life.
Surf, seafood and serenity
Choose to experience the waterways with fishing and boat charters, river cruises or whale-watching tours. Take a swim in the Yamba Ocean Pool at Main Beach, teach the kids to surf at Turners or paddle board along Whiting Beach for those who prefer calm waters.
Ride or walk the river pathway and along the break wall, suitable for little legs and furry friends on a leash. Atop Pilot Hill, the iconic lighthouse offers panoramic views of the beaches and river mouth—a perfect spot for breathtaking sunrises.
With a delightful mix of dining options and cuisines for every taste bud, Yamba is a foodie’s haven – where famous Yamba prawns can be found on almost every menu.
Hungry for some retail therapy? Hit the shops for a blend of boutique fashion labels and artisan treasures hidden in every nook and cranny of the CBD.
Spend a day, week, or lifetime here – it’ll feel like home.
A short 5-minute drive out of town, Angourie offers famous surf breaks and is home to the Blue and Green pools. A charming seaside town on the northern tip of Yuraygir National Park, Angourie is the start (or end) point of the Yuraygir Coastal Walk depending on which way you travel!
Put another way, this coastal destination evokes feelings you might have had as a kid – and for all its excellent contemporary dining, cafes, accommodation and shopping – Yamba manages to connect visitors with a sense of fun, joy, and innocence
