Coffs Harbour Area, New South Wales

Coffs Harbour Sawtell Beach Coffs Harbour is famed for its Big Banana, its beaches, and its rainforest. The swimming is magnificent, and the fish are almost always jumping. There are also beautiful nature trails to explore and whale watching cruises to enjoy. Adventure seekers can get a rush from whitewater rafting on the Nymboida River, while the sophisticates amongst us can kick back and relax with a holiday cocktail or well-chilled glass of white at one of Coffs Harbour’s resorts or open-air bistros.

The nearby World Heritage-listed Dorrigo National rewards visitors with spectacular mountain views and a rich pioneer experience. Ride the Plantation Train at the Big Banana – an enduring icon of Australian tourism. Snorkel or scuba dive in the Solitary Islands Marine Park. Enjoy a whale-watching cruise.

Chill out on the waterfront. Visit the World Heritage-listed Dorrigo National Park. Get up early to buy fresh seafood from the fish co-op. Tee off from one of the international standard golf courses. Be one of the first to experience the thrill of “surf rafting” off the beach. Brush the dolphin’s teeth or be kissed by a seal at the Pet Porpoise Pool. Most of all, rediscover your sense of fun.

Fertile farming land

With its fertile agricultural land, the Holiday Coast produces quality livestock and crops in the rich subtropical environment. Learn more about these primary industries on an agricultural tour of the region.

Golden beaches, island reserves

Long sweeps of uncrowded, golden beaches fringe Australia's North Coast. Meanwhile, Mutton Bird Island, reached by a path from Coffs Harbour jetty, is home to thousands of shearwaters (mutton birds), which make their nests in ground burrows between September and April.

Great driving

Australia's North Coast is part of the Pacific Coast Touring Route - one of Australia's great drives. Skirting the coast from Sydney to Cairns it includes off-the-beaten-track drives too. The drive between Coffs Harbour and Dorrigo, with its tropical fruit farms, is a delight.

Outdoor adventure

Coffs Harbour is an ideal base for furious white water rafting on the Nymboida River, while out to sea you can dive with grey nurse sharks, manta rays, and moray eels. Try deep sea fishing, four wheel driving, skydiving, go-karting, bushwalking, and mountain biking too!

Relax at Coffs Harbour

The popular beachside holiday town of Coffs Harbour is Australia's banana capital - easily recognised by a 10 metre concrete banana beside the highway! In spring, dolphins bring their calves close to shore and, in winter, humpback whales cruise close by. more
