Yamba - Crown jewel of the coast
“Yamba – it’s evocative of the holidays you had as a kid. It’s a place that makes you feel nostalgic, even while you’re there. It takes a special kind of magic to create that feeling”
It’ll come as no surprise that there’s a number excellent aquatic experiences available in Yamba. Fishing options, boat charters, river cruises, barbecue pontoons, paddleboat hire, kayaking tours, whale watching tours in season, not to mention patrolled beaches and a number of great surf breaks for board riders.
Standing proudly atop Pilot Hill is the iconic Yamba Lighthouse. From here you get a panoramic view over the surrounding beaches, the mouth of the river and Yamba Bay - Sunrise is special up here!
There are bike tracks galore around Yamba, basically running from one end of town to the other. The ride along Ford Park and Yamba Bay is great, but also try the road down to Angourie (with bike path) and check out the iconic Angourie Point surf break.
All this activity’s sure to bring on an appetite and here’s another way where Yamba excels. From fine dining to groovy cafes, to quality pub meals to takeaways, it’s all on offer. If you like your seafood fresh and local, well you’re in heaven right here!
Wednesday morning farmer’s market, near Turners Beach is worth setting the alarm for.
