Best beach holiday on the North Coast
The NSW North Coast has a sparkling coastline, most of them accessible by car.
Go surfing at some of Australia's most famous breaks such as Lennox Head, Broken Head and Angourie and the Pass at Byron Bay. If you're keen to learn to surf, you'll find accredited surf schools dotted along the North Coast. Some popular beaches for learn-to-surf lessons include Newcastle, Sawtell, Scotts Head, Ballina and Byron.
More adventurous activities range from 4WD tours on sand dunes, horse-riding, quad bikes and even camel rides at Port Macquarie.
Off the coast there are excellent snorkel and dive sites such as Solitary Islands Marine Reserve, Fish Rock cave off the coast at South West Rocks and Cape Byron Marine Park at Byron Bay.
