Attractions / Tours
Explore the myriad of waterways, stroll the uncrowded beaches, go swimming, fishing or surfing but most of all discover Yamba's friendly hospitality all year round.
Yamba is situated in the Northern Rivers Region of New South Wales just 1.5 hours north of Coffs Harbour and 1.5 hours south of Byron Bay. Yamba is located in a fabulously beautiful location, on the southern side of the Clarence River, and nestled in between the Yuraygir and Bundjalung National Parks. Views from the Yamba Lighthouse over the Yamba Township, Clarence River and the two nearby coastal parks are striking.
- A visit to Angourie
The tiny settlement of Angourie is just a 10 minute drive south. Discover the Blue Pools, a large unique rock pool set in bushland just behind the beach. It was created when a rock quarry filled with freshwater from a subterranean spring.
- Enjoy a spot of fishing
Yamba is a top spot for fishing, prawning and crabbing! Cast in a line from our jetty into the Clarence River or at one of the many beaches or take a charter off-shore for a real fishing experience. Click here for a few local fishing spots.
