Yamba

About

Yamba, a quaint beach town that reflects the beauty of the Australian coast. Yamba was voted the number one town to visit by the Australian Traveller magazine. Traditionally an indigenous town, the advent of one of the oldest surf clubs in the world attracted crowds of people wanting to ride the waves, making Yamba a popular tourist destination as early as the turn of the 20th century. As guesthouses developed into hotels and holiday apartments, the city blossomed into the perfect place to call home for vacationers. Yamba hosts eleven beaches that you can visit at your leisure. The most famous beaches are Yamba and Convent Beach, with its white sands, cliffs and beautiful turquoise waters perfect for a sunbathe and bath. The relaxed, laid back lifestyle creates a unique Australian culture to experience at your disposal. With many warm-water beaches, this gives you the year-round opportunity to take advantage of Yamba’s year-round dolphin watching! Between May and October, whale-watching is also a favorite pastime. If you want some retail therapy, take a gander at the Yamba River Markets, where you can taste local foods, farming fare and listen to local musicians filling the air with sweet songs.
