Fall in love with Yamba without spending hours planning your trip
Yamba is one of those places that gets under your skin.
Beautiful beaches, incredible food, relaxed coastal energy, gorgeous nearby towns and endless ways to spend your days as a family.
But when you’re planning a trip somewhere new, figuring out where to stay, which restaurants are actually worth booking, which beaches are best for the kids and how to fit everything into a few days can quickly become overwhelming.
That’s exactly why I created this guide.
After returning to Yamba again and again with my family, I’ve brought together the places we love, the experiences I recommend and the little tips I wish every visitor knew before arriving.
You can simply open the guide and start planning.
Inside the Yamba Destination Guide, you’ll discover:
From stylish boutique hotels and resorts to family-friendly holiday parks and beautiful self-contained holiday homes.
Discover options including Yamba, Angourie and beyond, with recommendations for different styles of holidays.
Breakfast spots, long lunches, casual family dinners, date-night restaurants, local breweries, pizza, seafood, cocktails and some of my favourite hidden gems.
Because a holiday this good deserves equally good food.
Discover more than just Yamba itself, with recommendations for:
Know what’s worth the drive and what to add to your itinerary.
From swimming and surfing to kayaking the Clarence River, exploring Yuraygir National Park, visiting the lighthouse, shopping the main street, taking the ferry to Iluka and watching for whales and dolphins.
Travelling with kids?
I’ve included the family activities our own children love, from calm swimming beaches and the ocean pool to waterparks, surf lessons, bike rides, mini golf, bowling and ice cream stops.
Because even the best beach holiday occasionally gets a rainy day.
You’ll find ideas for keeping everyone entertained, including indoor activities, shopping, dining, spa time, local attractions and even rainy-day adventures outside Yamba.
I’ve included a complete 4-day, 5-night Yamba itinerary designed to help you experience the best of the destination without packing so much into your days that your holiday stops feeling like a holiday.
You’ll know where to go for breakfast, which beaches to visit, when to explore Angourie, how to fit in Iluka, where to watch the sunset and where to book dinner.
Use it exactly as it is or mix and match the days to create your perfect Yamba holiday.
Imagine arriving already knowing:
Where you want to eat.
Which beach will suit your family.
Where to go for sunset.
What to book before you arrive.
Which nearby towns are worth exploring.
And what you can do if the weather changes.
All that’s left to do is pack the car and go.
