Swimmers and surfers will love this beach, and it’s renowned for its fantastic point break so if you’ve brought your surfboard, give it a go. Fisherman can try their luck casting off from the beach.

Patrolled from 27 December to 26 January, see full details on City of Coffs Harbour website.

If you feel like a little walk, take off for a rockpool ramble and look for ancient Aboriginal fish traps and sea creatures or walk over to Mullawarra Beach. You’ll also find a picnic area nestled in a tree-lined park.
