About Evans Head
Evans Head is an old-fashioned beach town surrounded by national parks, with 6 km of surfing beaches and pretty coastal scenery. It's the perfect location for an easy-going family holiday where the kids can swim in the river or at the shallow beaches along the river estuary. The town claims to have one of the largest caravan parks in NSW, right by the river with plenty of shade and access to the town's facilities.
Be sure not to miss Razorback Lookout with views north to Cape Byron Lighthouse on a clear day. Explore the NSW national parks along the coast to the north and south of Evans Head. Bundjalung National Park has 38 km of beaches while Broadwater National Park to the north has 8 km. There are good bushwalking trails, perfect for enjoying the beautiful wild flowers and birdlife.
