Yamba Lifestyle

Yamba is a small and scenic coastal resort town in the far north coast of New South Wales surrounded by the ocean, the mighty Clarence River, and bordered by Yuraygir National Park.

Known for having the best moderate climates in the world next to California in the USA, Yamba is the perfect holiday destination offering visitors and locals a relaxed lifestyle throughout the year. Yamba boasts 11 beaches along a stretch of pristine coastline, making it a fantastic seaside holiday destination.

From the Beachside area you can walk to four picturesque beaches including the adjacent Pippi Beach. Yamba’s beaches offer endless walking and fishing opportunities , Pippi Beach and neighbouring Angourie Beach are world renowned for excellent surf and offer safe swimming with lifeguard patrols in summer.

Dolphins are regular visitors to Pippi beach and at certain times of the year usually between July and November, you will see the magnificent humpback whales as they migrate along the New South Wales coastline. September is the peak month for their southward migration. This is also the time it is most likely to see the baby humpbacks, born a few weeks earlier in their tropical calving grounds. This truly is a magical experience - not to be missed!

Yamba has a quaint town centre with a variety of restaurants, cafes and boutique shops. Great sporting facilities and leisure pursuits are on offer including golfing, bowling, fishing, and world-class surfing both in Yamba and Angourie just 5kms away.

The rock pool at Yamba Beach is the perfect place for safe swimming and the views from the Yamba Lighthouse are superb. The 2kms of sea walls and break waters are great for walking, cycling and fishing offering fantastic views of Yamba and surfers off Turners Beach.

Fishing is famous here in the seaside town of Yamba. The whole area in general is great for fishing from the pristine beaches, sea walls and flat rocks found around Yamba. Commercial prawn and fishing fleets roll by in the evening, returning at dawn to the nearby marina with their fresh ocean bounty and Yamba prawns. A number of charter services are available for offshore and deep sea fishing.

Yamba is within easy reach of major regional centres and capital cities with just a 1 ½ hour drive to Byron Bay, 2 hours to the Gold Coast and just 1 hour from Coffs Harbour.
