Nambucca Heads Holidays & Accommodation

An Aboriginal word which roughly translates to ‘entrance to water’, Nambucca Head takes its name from its location at the mouth of Nambucca River. Conveniently located midway between Brisbane and Sydney, Nambucca Heads is just 40 minutes south of Coffs Harbour. A relaxed seaside holiday destination, visitors can enjoy sparkling estuaries, coastal national parks, deserted beaches, astonishing rainforest and unexpected beauty at every turn. A holiday haven on the New South Wales Mid North Coast, Nambucca Heads is situated in the delightful Nambucca Valley where a diverse artistic culture sits side by side with rich local antiquity. Immerse yourself in charming local markets, a fascinating array of museums and the history of the river.

Attractions

Perhaps one of the biggest attractions of Nambucca Heads is the ability to kick back, relax and do not very much at all. However, if you’re looking to see the sights while you’re visiting, there’s plenty to see and do in the local area. The tranquil waterways are the perfect place to spot bottlenose dolphins on a river cruise while the beaches offer all the sun, sand and fun you can handle. The aptly named Shelly Beach is ideal for a picnic while the nearby Captain Cook Lookout is the best vantage point to spot humpback whales during their annual migration from May to November. Gaagal Wanggaan National Park is a playground for watersports including boating, swimming, fishing and kayaking.
