Yamba is situated in the Northern Rivers Region of New South Wales just 1 hour north of Coffs Harbour and 1.5 hours south of Byron Bay. Yamba is located in a fabulously beautiful location, on the southern side of the Clarence River, and nestled in between the Yuraygir and Bundjalung National Parks. Views from the Yamba Lighthouse over the Yamba Township, Clarence River and the two nearby coastal parks are striking.
Yamba is famous amongst fishermen as a top fishing and prawning spot. Yamba is excellent for beach fishing, fishing from a boat (you can hire one or launch from one of the many boat ramps around Yamba) in the Clarence River. A visit to Yamba Marina is a must. At Yamba Marine you can hire a boat, take a river cruise, ride in a jet boat or simply relax in the Marina Cafe - sip a latte and enjoy the fresh, famous Yamba prawns and local seafood.
Yamba has a fascinating coastline of white sandy beaches nestled in coves between rocky headlands. Turners Beach, Yamba situated near the mouth of the Clarence River is a small beach, a popular family swimming spot and often has good surfing waves.
Main Beach Yamba with its ocean rock pool is an excellent swimming set-up for any family. Just a little further south is Convent Beach, a white sandy beach nestled in a rocky cove and then there is the long expansive Pipis Beach which is popular with fishermen and surfers alike.
