Coffs Harbour | New South Wales
A very attractive holiday destination, Coffs Harbour is an area of contrasts: beaches, high mountains, dense rainforest and banana plantations. Main AttractionsLong stretches of sand and surf have been drawing visitors to Coffs Harbour for decades. Park, Jetty and Boambee beaches edge the city, and to the north some hideaway beaches include Moonee, Emerald and Sandy. The Big Banana theme park is perhaps the most popular tourist attraction. Hard to miss with its huge concrete banana on the Pacific Hwy, north of town, it is open daily. There are plantation tours, hydroponics' exhibitions, a toboggan run, banana barn, food, souvenirs and a lookout; something for the whole family to enjoy. The Pet Porpoise Pool has performing dolphins and sea-lions, with shows daily, every day of the year. There is also a native fauna sanctuary and a reef tank. Muttonbird Island Nature Reserve is an excellent spot to see whales and muttonbirds in season. |
