Located at the mouth of the Clarence River on the shores of Shoal Bay, it’s hardly surprising that Yamba is a mecca for seafood lovers. With eateries aplenty, Yamba’s oldest and most picturesque restaurant sets the scene for this sublime coastal haven – it’s perched right on the beach with uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean, like every day at Yamba should be.

For those who like to find adventure by foot, take your pick from one of the many beachside walking tracks. Discover the Yamba lighthouse or explore parts of the 65km Yuraygir coastal walk. When that’s all done, take a dip in the ocean pool and emerge feeling brand new – nothing beats a recharging salty swim.
