DESTINATION: Nambucca Heads

Nambucca Heads

A holiday resort, fishing and oyster-farming town, Nambucca Heads lies at the mouth of the Nambucca River. One of the prettiest townships on the North Coast, Nambucca Heads offers a relaxed lifestyle, a subtropical climate and safe, clean beaches. Fishing, boating and swimming are popular pastimes.


Main Attractions

Stunning views of the surf, river, hills and long stretches of bush and sand dunes can be seen from 4 lookouts; Rotary, Shelly, Pilot and Lions.

Stuart Island Golf Course is in the middle of the river and is the only island used exclusively as a golf course in Australia. A self-guided historical walk through the town is worthwhile exploring, including the river-foreshore walk past the sites of Copenhagen Mill, Pioneer Well and 19th-century shipyards. The V Wall is an outdoor gallery located in Wellington Dr. Here visitors are encouraged to paint a 'Postcard on Rock'. A 60m-long mosaic mural sculpture, depicting the journey of the Nambucca River, wraps around Nambucca Heads Police Station embankment in the centre of town.
