The 26 best walking spots in Coffs Harbour

Coffs creek walkway is a scenic, serene walk extending from our gorgeous tidal creek all the way into town. This walk is for most fitness types, dog walking, jogging, bike riding. The walk literally hugs the creek except for a steep hill. You can start at the Promenade if a flat walk is preferred. The views of the creek are sublime, the water of the creek can change to the clearest "crystal blue" on a sunny clear day. Various fishing spots are located along the track. I take as many photographs to capture the changing scenery and colors. Many birds flit between the trees and fish can be spotted in the crystal clear water. This is a pleasant "time out", children enjoy the walk with family and the walk is pram friendly. The track is kept in good condition. Finish your walk at the beautiful Botanical Gardens.

Enjoyable ride

Beautiful place to walk along and have a cast for some great fishing along the river.

Really great trail. Could use more drinking taps

Very poorly sign posted with no directions, starting or finishing point. I would measure it again, what is listed is dishonest.

Best for a bike ride or walk

Didn't even know this place existed but holy crap the views from up here are good. Site is really well maintained and the drive up is also quite pleasant. Treetops is also up here which is great for the kids, just be mindful it can be busy on the school holidays.

The view of the Pacific Ocean and Coffs harbour city from the forest pier is really exhilarating. This elevated platform gives you Birds Eye view of the valley. This place has the amenities such as ample car parking, toilet and a gazebo like structure where people can sit and enjoy their food. There is no any coffee shop or refreshment shop in this area so being your food and drinks. Moreover, if you got a binocular please take to get a close view of the foothills.

Fantastic viewpoint overlooking Coffs coast You can park inside the gate and walk on the path through the forest or drive along to the viewpoint The bridge is constructed to overlook the forest and give views up and down the coast

Beautiful lookout with a suspension "pier" hanging over the edge. Very nicely updated with the environment in mind. The cafe was closed but it looked like a great spot for a picnic with plenty of tables scattered about. Bring cash and keep an eye out for the little vege stalls on the road up selling avocados and bananas!

Ive been here before in summer and came again years later with my daughter.. make sure you read the signs to get to this lication as the road works have made it hard with signage to follow. Google maps even had trouble navigating to get proper firections due to the terrible road works. Once you are there the biews are spectacular. It is a little windy on the road coming up to it. Winding through the banana plantation and the state forest on the other side. There is a small cafe at the top for coffee tea hot chocolate and small snacks. Further back on the road there is tree hopping. Its a must see location as it is very pretty . The area is very clean and its free . No problems with parking.

Beautiful views and lovely pier/bridge. Loads of parking and there is a toilet nearby. Cafe was not open today.

Breathtaking views from up to the top. You can take your car till the lookout point. We did the smallest 35 min trail, I believe the Gumgali track that goes from the the left of the lizard's picture near the treetop adventure. It was a short, quiet and nice walk to a beautiful lookout point.

The botanical garden was absolutely wonderful, vast, yet cleverly designed pathways made exploring a breeze, no getting lost here! A treasure trove of trees and plants, and super helpful engravings and descriptions dotted around. Stunningly beautiful, this garden's a perfect chill-out spot for both adults and kids to wander, soak up the nature vibes, and go at their own pace. They also have a lovely cafe and souvenir shop to round off the visit. A must-visit for anyone looking to get lost in the loveliness of nature.

Such a beautiful place to visit for a stroll through nature. I enjoyed the different themed areas, with my favourites being the glasshouse/orchid room and the New South Wales natives. The walking tracks were well maintained and it was good that a lot of the trees and plants were labelled. Beautiful time of year to visit during Spring before it gets too hot (Sep/Oct).

This is a beautiful place to wander through, it is a well maintained & a well planned layout with lots of wonderful trees & plants including a very pretty Japanese garden with a lagoon & bridge! A new cafe has opened here just recently which does great coffee & a fairly extensive savoury & sweet selection of snacks & food! 👍👏🌟

This is a MUST SEE if you're in the region. These gardens were featured on TV Better Homes and Gardens show recently (October 2024), and as we were holidaying in the area decided to visit. What a magnificent Botanical Garden. I couldn't believe we didn't know this place existed after visiting the area for years. A beautiful experience to wander through the variety of themed gardens, a greenhouse, and a beautiful Japanese Garden with bridge and pavilion - so serene. Well made sign posted paths (wheelchair ♿ friendly) and information boards. Plenty of seating, shade, green space, picnic spots and public facilities 🚻. Suitable for all ages and a rare thing - ✨FREE entry🌳🌴🌷✨ There are information brochures and a donation box at entry point which I didn't hesitate to drop a note 💵 in. I would encourage a donation to help sustain this nature treasure. The gardens are maintained by 180 volunteers and 1 paid worker - an incredible feat. I'll be back with a picnic 🧺 next visit.

We had the best morning at the gardens. Patsy was wonderful, she went out of her way to accommodate us for my Nans 91st Birthday. She drove us in the buggy to the Japanese gardens where we enjoyed our picnic basket of cakes and coffees from the leaf and bean cafe. So many beautiful areas with different designs to explore. The 3 children loved it as well. Thank you for the memories.

This is an unusual botanic garden in that there is much more forest than sculpted gardens. Having said that, it is really lovely with lots of places to explore. The cafe was great too, fabulous muffins!

Beautiful gardens. Loved all the different regions, in particular the Japanese garden, just so peaceful. Really great to have such a beautiful place to come explore the plant and enjoy the serentu.

It’s a must visit spot if you love the nature sightseeing place. Coffs Harbour is an ideal stopover on your road trip to QLD. Winter time me and my boyfriend be there at 4:30ish the view is stunning. Appreciate the beautiful world and the quality time we spent together.

Always worth the effort! It’s a steep walk over Muttonbird Island but the views are amazing. The ideal spot for whale watching in season, the closest you’ll get to them from land. Take your binoculars! There are great cafes at the marina or Jetty beach for a drink before or after your walk. There is no entry free. There are regulations as it is a nature reserve. For those with mobility issues, who cannot tackle the steep pathways on either end of the island, or for those walking dogs (who aren’t allowed on the island itself) you will find a flat, long J-shaped path (cement and then bitumen) along the marina with views of the moored yachts, people fishing or snorkelling, the jetty and base of the island. There is some shade and seats at the base of the island, before you head up the steep path.

This is one of the most beautiful sights I have seen in Coffs Harbour, I spent a long time in the Bird's Nest World, it was like a bird community, very magical! There are many bird holes, and birds will go in and out, so don't scare them because they will be afraid. In addition, there is a restaurant and a cafe, it is worth spending a wonderful breakfast or afternoon with your family or couple!

A great little scenic walk which takes us up the hill to a look out spot, where one can view the distant hills of Coffs Harbour. The oceanic views are wonderful from atop the hill. The local birds also nest in the hills.

Gorgeous views from the top Lots of birds and whales passing in the distance from the top of the island

We aim to take a walk here when visiting Coffs Harbour. When walking to or from Muttonbird Island, a walk along the Marinara walkway is great for spotting all sorts of fish.

Great look out with a leg burning walk to the top great sunset spot lighting up the mountain range

Stopped here for a break on our way back to Sydney. There's so much to do here for all ages, you could spend the whole day here! It's one giant fun park! The souvenir shop is packed with all sorts of goodies ranging from hats, soft toys, cups, pens, stickers, key rings, fridge magnets, t-shirts, stationary items, tea towels etc. Cafe has a good variety of hot and cold food, drinks, milkshakes, and snacks. Plenty of parking.

An entire day well spent last wk. Bought the Ultimate Pass for the family online. Rocked up before ticket box/activities opened to get a good car park. Thankfully, NSW school holidays hadn't yet started so wasn't too busy. Took the entire day to be able to experience all activities included in the Ultimate Pass, including saving the Arcade Room till after 4pm when all other areas had closed. Only downers were: 1 the expensive meals, 2 the Toboggan wasn't open, and 3 the ice skates were too narrow. Even after going up a size, had to regularly sit down and take the weight off. Will need to return when the Toboggan opens.

We had an awesome day at The Big Banana Fun Park – fantastic facilities, plenty of fun, and most of the staff were absolutely wonderful! Unfortunately, our experience was dampened by an encounter with the café manager, Tanya. I have a coconut allergy, and I could clearly detect traces of coconut (likely from cross-contamination with previous flavours). Rather than showing any concern, understanding, or basic duty of care, Tanya was immediately hostile, dismissive, and completely unwilling to help. She refused to offer a replacement, refund, or even acknowledge the potential seriousness of the situation, and her attitude was both unprofessional and unacceptable, especially for someone in a managerial position. As former café owners, we know exactly what good customer service looks like and this was the complete opposite. In any hospitality setting, especially when it comes to allergies, empathy and responsibility are non-negotiable. Thankfully, duty manager James went above and beyond to resolve the situation. He handled everything with professionalism, ensured we were looked after, and even gave my little one a bag of bananas for the long trip home to Brisbane - such a thoughtful gesture! It’s thanks to the rest of the fantastic team members and James’ outstanding service that this review is 4 stars instead of 1. They truly turned a negative situation into a positive experience, and we’re incredibly grateful for their care and professionalism. 👏🍌

Timed season / play time can we , depending on numbers, well worth it or a little disappointing. Wait times for a slide can exceed 30min or so. Given 2 hours, 2 - 4 slides can be a maximum. But for smaller kids or kids who enjoy the splash area, 2 hours for the price is well worth it. There is a lot to do overall at the big banana if you have the time and the funds. But it is definitely worth visiting If your not willing to wait a while, or pay the price for meals, its easily enough to bring your own.

This is a perfect fun park for the family with kids, as parents can join with them and have fun. I saw the kids really enjoying all the rides . However, if you are solo, or young couple without kids you guys may feel boredom as there is nothing to make your adrenaline rushing. Adults, they surely enjoy the self guided tour through the banana plantations. Staff are really courteous, good accessibility from highway, ample parking facilities are really good.

If you are visiting Coffs harbour and travelling with kids... this is where you want to be! There is a plethora of fun activities and games especially for the kids here. Of course, if you are enthusiastic about banana trees/plantation etc then there's plenty here for adults too. We stopped by here for a short visit during our road trip from QLD to Melbourne. It was amazing to see the kids enjoying themselves especially in the gaming arcade area. Souvenir shop, cafe and clean wash rooms are also available here along with plenty of free parking.

My Wife and myself visited the Banana Plantation here was a self guided tour that took about 30 minutes, where you see all the banana plants and learn about the history here at the big banana. Enjoyed our tour here and definitely recommend the visit great to learn about the history of the big banana. Family friendly place to visit too.

Very well done to protect the island and to make the walk easy for the people walking. Great views

Need a decent level of fitness to get up there as the path is pretty steep. Great views though,well worth a visit

Wow…. What a scenic place, no words to describe the importance and beauty of this place. Walk to the summit demands some fitness, also the ammonia smell of birds dropping may make you going back, but once you reach the top of this Island the view is absolutely stunning. I spotted humpback whales in the Pacific Ocean, myriads of burrows of a bird species called shearwater, also you can take photos from the erected platform The view of Coffs harbour marina and fishing harbour from this island is mesmerising. I recommend it as a must visit place

great place to see the harbour. very windy but a great place to jog too. it's very steep therefore challenging. and if you're lucky you get to see some whales .

You know you’re alive and how unfit you are when you start to head up the steep paved slope to the viewing area. So many shearwater nests along the cliff face of the island. Didn’t see any shearwaters but did see a magnificent Brahminy Kite just hovering then diving, a bird called a Pipit and a blue tongue lizard. The view is 360 degrees and I thought beautiful. From there you can walk along the boardwalk down a steep slope to another viewing area. People were fishing off the rocks at the base of the cliff. Have no idea how they got there. There are boards at the entrance to the island which has lots of interesting info on it as well as some at the viewing platform. Panoramic photos of the coastline pointing out places of interest. Yearly cycle of the shearwater and how they nest. Reasonably cool up there so a jumper might be a good idea. Free admission and you must stay on the paths. Would recommend and then a stop at fisherman’s coop for a serve of fish and chips.

100% worth the drive there, the beautiful views and their paths make it an easy climb. A must-visit... The only thing that made the experience bad was the irresponsibility of dog owners. The path/boardwalk leading to Muttonbird Island was littered with dog excrement, there was even excrement rubbed into the concrete. This is not okay, pet owners have no right to ruin the money, hard work, or planning, for all involved in building the infrastructure and beautification for a safer pathway. Mother Nature did her best to create Muttonbird Island and the Coffs Harbour council put a lot of effort into making it accessible to all. It is rude and downright disgusting because pet owners are too selfish and lazy to clean up after their dogs. Thumbs up to Muttonbird Island but a big thumbs down to the irresponsible pet owners. Maybe the best way to fix the problem is to ban dogs altogether. I'll let my photos speak for the beauty of Muttonbird Island.

Must visit spot when visiting Coffs Harbour. Muttonbird Island has a great view from up top. The start of the walk is very step but once you get past that there is a narrow paved and raised deck to walk along. If you are lucky you my see some whales. Plenty of information around to give you some interesting facts and stories. The walk is approx 4km loop when parking the Coffs Jetty Foreshore.

everyone's Sunday morning now has great people gathering to provide fresh fruit and vegetables from our local farmers.live music turns a Sunday into a funday.

Great place ! Many items to browse through. Great food 😋 and drinks, including coffee ☕️. Absolutely dog 🐕 friendly 😀 - you will find almost everything you need for a dog for sale there, too. Parking can be tricky - it is better to come earlier.

Great markets, show casing local products and crafts. Super freindly stall owners and resonable prices are a bonus. Every time we have been we find some great bargains and have many interesting chats.

Vibrant colourful regular Sunday morning event

Loved it here water was nice and cold , good place to bring your family for a swim and picnic

We've been to this market twice during our stay in Coffs, it's vibrant, lively and a lot of fun. Did particularly love the Scottish pipe and drum band, but I've got Scottish blood running through my veins.

I love meeting friends and family here for a bite to eat. It's a lovely place to gather. Great atmosphere, food,music and stalls.

I've been to treetops at Canberra before and this was as good if not better. Very helpful staff. Great courses, and very different to the other Treetops I've been too. We went with a 5, 8, 38, 40, and 67 year old. We even saw some bush turkeys!

Honestly so impressed with Treetop Adventure Challenge Coffs Harbour. This is the second time we’ve been and the kids (9, 12 & 15) absolutely love it and have been talking about going back since last year. The location is absolutely beautiful, the challenges are really well done and incredibly safe and engaging, but the real standout are the staff, all highly professional and experienced, engaging and warm with the kids. Today during one of the challenges our youngest got a bit scared and can’t thank Grace & Bre enough for the way they reassured and lead her through to the end of the challenge. To see the confidence in her afterwards, as a parent you couldn’t ask for anything more. Thank you to Daniel (beard / shaved head guy as well) you were brilliant too. 10/10 guys, thank you for a great afternoon.

Great Set up! Lots of options to challenge yourself and the whole family too, from 8y.o! Super friendly staff and winter is the Best time to enjoy it without the crowd. We loved it :) Right next to the amazing Seally Lookout

We aren’t young but loved doing the 3 different stages and was alittle buggered afterwords but it’s was great fun the staff are so nice and caring, thank you to the staff and we carnt wait to try another 1

This was such a fantastic experience! Our assistant, Brie, was such an amazing help and has such a beautiful energy and way with children 🙏 My husband, and children (13, 11, 9 and 5 years) took part 💚 My 5 year old did all 4 of the younger children's courses, and the older children went with my husband to complete the green and blue courses 💚 Everyone had so much fun! Thank you 🥰

A great adventure. The courses range from little kids to “Arborist” (quite challenging) it you are fitted in quality fall arrest equipment and feel perfectly safe. Zip lining above cars driving below is a bit of a buzz too. The staff look after everyone really well and know how to deal with visitors that have discovered that the adventure is a bit much for them. Obviously safety if first but fun is a close second!

We absolutely loved the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. Being super busy, they answered all our questions and helped us throughout the challenge with a smile. Would definitely visit again.

Ample parking, beach shower and boardwalk. Lovely little spot for a dip. Some fun rock pools to explore. The beach was clean and quiet, bins for waste around as well. Great stop off for a quick dip!

Beautiful little beach, fun beach break if you surf

Very good place for surfers. Lovely beach.

Great beach. And, despite Google's somewhat odd prompt, there is no need to buy tickets - in advance or otherwise. It's a beach.

Diggers is paradise. We always love visiting, if you're lucky you can even nab a shady spot on the sand down the southern end. Decent toilets, showers, shady carparks, and a coffee cart if you go at the right time of day makes it perfect for a family. Sadly dogs not allowed.

Our local. We love this place. The people (mostly) are amazing, friendly and warm. Beach is generally favourable for surf and swim.

Great beach for the family.

This is my favourite walk in Coffs Harbour! No other place i have found allows you to fully appreciate the majesty of the North Coast and Pacific Ocean in a mere half hour walk. Lots of black cockatoos here of a morning and wallabies on the walking trail every now and then which is very cool to see! Every person you pass greets you with a smile. And it is the best place to view the sunrise from the cliffs!

Great walk along the coast with plenty of views and beaches to pass through. If you are lucky you can get some whale watching in too along the walk.

Beautiful walk that goes in forever if you're that keen! Even on an overcast and cloudy day it was gorgeous. The walk is flat and paved, so offers v little challenge, if any, to those not fit. Not sure about disability access though, as getting to the walk appears to be from the beach.

Excellent walk, possible suicide location. Views are best at dusk/ dawn. Whale and dolphin watching hotspot.

Pristine sunsets, birdlife, wallabies, quiet coves, beaches for surfing and swimming 🙏👍 littered with coastal banksia

Beautiful sceneries along the Coastal trail! Suitable for family !

Lovely place for a morning family walk. When the tide has gone out there’s Little Rock pools where you can find little sea creatures and explore for hours.

Online booking is required and costs $18 for adults, but it is well worth it, to spend a few hours delving deep below the ocean to see spectacular marine creatures and understanding how mankind needs to protect ocean life in order to sustain ourselves

Great experience at the aquarium. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff that allowed for a very engaging and hands on experience. The museum was easy to access and had a wide range of marine life for us to see.

Very informative. Staff (marine scientists) are friendly and did some discussions about marine life around coffs coast area. There is also play area for kids!

Fantastic experience. My son (9,asd2) is obsessed with octopus and goes every time we come to Coffs and we learn something new each time. This visit we happened to be in time for fish feeding which was another level of fun and learning. The ppl are great too!

Priced for the size. Small little aquarium but staff knowledge is outstanding and their love for the creatures and passion for conservation is worth the visit. Loved the octopus, it's easy to spend a long time mesmerised with them (they definitely have personalities). Only need an hour there really but recommend going when it's not crowded as it's beautiful to take in but it may spoil it a bit if it was packed. Great for kids too!

It was a great experience for the kids. The staff were very knowledgeable and were great with the kids during the talk. It is a very small aquarium but still a great way to spend a few hours listening to the talks and watching the fish and a very cool octopus.

The tour is $18 and not free, the website is a little misleading in that respect. There are a few tanks with some interesting fish in. One of the students gave a little talk and fed the fish for us to see. Can learn a bit about the local marine life and overall was worth the visit.

It's about an 8 minute walk to the lookout from the 1st parking area. It's not flat but also not too steep. You do pass some private houses along the way but just stay on the roadway. This lookout kinda looks north and the other one Forest Sky Pier kinds looks south. There is a nice view out to South Solitary Island and the Lighthouse.

Great lookout overlooking Coffs Harbour. Some of the walks are a bit tough but the lookout is easily accessible. A must see if in Coffs Harbour

Beautiful lookout and is 10 min walk from the tree climb activity.

Take Gumgali Track for nature, culture and great views of the north of Coffs Harbour. Sealy Lookout Rd is a steep and very bendy drive, so take care. Before you drive into Sealy Lookout, you’ll find a few carparks and sign for Korora Lookout on the left hand side. It’s not a long walk but there are some steep parts of the walk, along mostly a rough dirt track/ road and stone steps You’ll see some lizard sculptures, great artworks/ mural telling a Gumbaynggirr Dreaming story, then great views from the lookout area.

Lovely lookout, very basic gravel walking track down there. Did not take long to do!

Beautiful scenic spot. Well shaded with trees and a bench to sit back, relax and take in the beautiful view. There were no other visitors when we arrived making it a very relaxing experience.The walk from the car park to the lookout is about 650 metres. Mix of uphill and downhill walk.

The Korora Lookout offers a quick, easy stroll with its 5-minute walk, making it accessible for everyone. The view is pleasant but not exceptional, perfect if you're seeking a brief outing. Additionally, the Treetop Adventures nearby provide obstacle courses suitable for all ages, adding a fun activity to the visit. Overall, while the lookout is a nice spot for a short walk, the view might not be spectacular enough to warrant an extended visit unless paired with the Treetop Adventures for added enjoyment.

One of my favourite beaches in the Coffs area. It's protected from the winds and a good for watching surfers

Lovely views and scenery. Great surrounding beaches with lovely walks as well!

It's nice but some parts of the beach has too many pebbles. It's painful on the feet.

Great beach with strong current. Not the best one for little ones, but would be ok for playing at shallow area . Sands are yellowish soft colour. There is a large carpark and a viewing platform and toilets.

A wild and untamed beach, while beautiful it is a dangerous beach and I'd caution people to swim there with kids anywhere outside the patrolled area. The beach also had a foul smell which was quiet nauseating.

A lovely place to stay, either work or play A++

Amazing view with very little crowds

Beautiful walk & views along the headland at all hours of the day (I went 3 times, in the morning + midday + during sunset). Well paved with a few short steep sections. Small car park near the start of the walk, but I always saw empty spots.

Short distance from Sawtell. Great lookouts on the hill overlooking the ocean capturing migrating whales in the distance even a few dolphins jumping in their wake. Great pathways to take a coastal walk for the views.

A beautiful walk with scenic vistas of the rolling Pacific Ocean. The trail is easy with a few hilly sections. There's a small carpark at the walk start. Check out the old rail bridge before the walk where the beach is dog friendly & you can take a dip if its hot.

Beautiful place to just sit and enjoy the beauty we have in our backyard

🌅 simply stunning location 🐋🎣🦅 views amazing, car parking easy

Beautiful at any time of day. Love coming here for a jog or to take our dog for a walk with our toddler in tow.

Beautiful beach and lookout. You can see the whole coastline in both directions and if you take the grass trail, you will come out at the most easterly point where you can walk left to the creek swimming (shower and toilet) or right to Sawtell. Straight ahead is a quiet like area to sit and have a private do or just sit on the bench and watch the ocean.

Friendly and informative volunteer staff in the 'temporary' premises after old building flooded, now housed in original policeman's home\ courthouse. Interesting array of displays on coastal, medical and other local history.

Very nice and quaint place! We were the only ones when we visited, so the staff person gave us a little guided tour around the place with lots of cool info. Very friendly and inviting atmosphere, not to mention all free! Great place to check out if you'd like to learn about some history behind Coffs Harbour.

Great museum, it might be a little small, but I think it's better than a lot of big museums as it's cozy, has some great historical items, and the staff there are very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this place to tourists coming to coffs.

Was a lovely little museum. Loved the mini cinema and video of history. Sadley im sure Coffs has more history than was available Grand daughters loved it n so did us Grand Parents

Great little museum but very small but the cinema room was a great trek back in time. Free to attend so give a small donation as the staff were so friendly and helpful it's a must to do in Coffs Harbour

Lovely little museum, friendly staff

Nice snapshot of coffs history. The cinema exhibit is great. Would be good if they add more stuff. Very helpful and informative staff.

Be sure to return the same way, otherwise you will get lost. The signs are not clear, and be careful of leeches

Ulidarra National Park is a hidden gem! The trails are well-maintained and offer a great mix of challenging hikes and easy walks. The lush greenery and diverse wildlife make it a perfect spot for nature enthusiasts. A bit more signage would be helpful, but overall, a fantastic place to explore and unwind.

We entered the park from the road heading down from Searly Lookout. We thought we'd go to the 'picnic area' to make a coffee. The track immediately started to climb and was very picturesque however there was no 'view' We came across a y-junction with a locked gate on the lhs. We continued on taking the end track thinking that once we arrived to the picnic area we'd definitely turn around after our coffee and head out. There was no picnic ground. (We were told later that there may have been a picnic table near the road) The track got worse, very gutted, lots of overhangs, and required a skilled 4wd'er to traverse. We are experienced and advise you not to drive this track. It takes you into Cara State Forest and then you have to get out! Only bushwalkers or bikeriders should attempt it unless track work it completed. If it were to get any wetter you'd have even greater problems. After 1.5-2 hours we made our way back to bitumen by using our detailed mapping on our tablet using Explore oz maps.

Enjoyed my visit here and would definitely go back. I completed the Ulidarra Walking Track after starting on the End Peak Trail. There are some sections that are a bit steep and the trails are quite rough and are not marked at all. There were a lot of large fallen tree trunks that had to be scrambled under. There was no beautiful view from a peak at the end, but overall it was a very tranquil and enjoyable day hike.

I googled top 10 things to do in Coffs Harbour... How this place made it up there is mind blowing!!! An absolute horror experience!! You drive throught this park, all you see is... Not even sure because you concentrate to stay on the road. No where are they telling you that you are throught the Park and going on the road to hell (as one sign correctly identified). More important nobody is telling you that the road ahead (Shelter rd) is ending. We drove for more than an hour on a horrific road just to be forced to turn around because of the road closure... all the way back on the same road to hell... There are countless scratches on my SUV... That all to see nothing. Please put a sign on that says (1) you reached the end of the park. (2) Make a turn around place there and (3) advise the visitors that the road is horrendous and ends... And for making the top 10 things to do... What a joke... Rather do ironing... It will save you 2 hours of buffing out the scratches on your car.

Great 4x4 adventures to be had.

I haven't been here because I couldn't find the way. If you followed Google map to Sheppards Lane like I did, you'll find that the end of it is private property and you can't trespass. Seriously, the owner will stop you. Google map please correct your direction.

We caught Bus 365 from Wollies to Jetty Beach to kill some time whilst our car was being serviced. Good choice. This cute little beach is lovely and safe to swim in. School kids were having surfing lessons and swimming from jetty to shore, there were elderly enjoying an easy swim, people speed walking, biking & rollerblading on the boardwalk. There were cafes and restaurants nearby and a fantistic fresh seafood co-op beside the marina. We enjoyed our little visit here and totally recommend it.

WORTH THE STOP, WORTH THE SWIM, WORTH THE DAY! 🥰 This beach is a must-visit if you’re looking for a calm, crystal-clear spot with gentle waves perfect for bodyboarding. The water temperature is surprisingly not as cold compared to other Aussie beaches and is very kid-friendly! Shower and toilet facilities are clean and well-maintained 💯. We spotted several adorable sea turtles from the jetty – too cute! An early morning stroll along the harbour was magical, with stingrays and other fish clearly visible. Absolutely mesmerizing! Nearby, you’ll find several cafes and delicious takeaway fish & chips. Plus, there’s a Sunday Market right by the beach entrance. Highly recommend this spot to all travelers! 🙌

Favourite place to stay @jettybeachhouse Airbnb Jetty Beach

Nice place to stop for a road trip. Nice sunset and very peaceful👍

Best place to swim year round. Dolphins, sea turtles and a nearby walk on Muttonbird Island. But don't go there because if everyone shows up it will get crowded. If you do visit, please leave nothing but your footprints. Out of town visitors have been known to leave garbage behind on this otherwise pristine beach. Nearby showers on both ends of the beach, and good coffee and snack kiosks make it a great place to hang out.

Awesome spot to see Sea turtles and sting rays in the afternoon. Spectacular sunset walk with the family and dog. Then of course the famous jetty jump is always fun. Highly recommend the late afternoon stroll.

Ideally situated for exploring the small coastal towns and nature reserves of New South Whales, Coffs Harbour appeals to independent travellers and families alike with its expansive beaches and adventure opportunities. There's something for everyone. Take your time also in the city some time you see walk arround crocodile dundee.

Stopped by Coffs Harbour Jetty while driving interstate. Beautiful views, sea breeze. Plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby too

Beautiful place to sit near the beach with the gulls, be in the water, or jump from the pier. Fun face: Sea shells in the water are live.

Drive off the highway if you're on your way through. Lovely walk along the jetty, lots of spots to get a coffee or something delightful.

A great foreshore jetty, it's a fairly long jetty with views of Coffs Harbour, beaches and buildings, very impressive

This was a wonderful walk. Also found a whale watching tour to do, had an excellent coffee at one of the restaurants looking out over the water. When it wad time to eat we got fish and chips at the Fisherman's Coop. Great way to spend a lovely day 😊

The harbour jetty is pretty cool place to visit. A perfect place to spend some quality time with friends and family. You can have dip in the water and sun bath. The wash room was pretty well maintained and clean Plenty of parking available but might be busy during school holidays.

I went for a walk at Muttonbird Island. This is my 3rd time. What a stunning view ❤️

We had an amazing kayaking tour with Matt! He’s super nice, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience really special for our family. The scenery was beautiful, the pace was just right, and best of all — not a single boring moment! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun and memorable outdoor adventure.

We had a great time kayaking with Matt who provided snacks and took some great photos, which he sent to us later. My boys were able to pump yabbies and had bait for fishing! The kayaks were solid and comfortable and you could follow the group or take the route at your own pace. Lots to see, great exercise and a fun way to make memories with friends and family.

Despite the gloomy weather, our kayak tour with Matt was fantastic! Matt was welcoming and knowledgeable, ensuring everyone felt safe and comfortable. This is really a memorable experience! Highly recommend this tour!

If you want an experience that won't bust your wallet and will leave you with fantastic memories I highly recommend C-Change. All required gear is provided Matt is Very knowledgeable and passionate about Coffs local water ways. Its a beautiful paddle around we went around Boambee creek, saw some sting rays, tried some bush Tucker and over all just had a really good time. Everyone in our group plans to book in for some of the other tours C-Change can provide later in the year.

We thoroughly enjoyed our kayaking experience with Matt. The location is peaceful, the pace is easy and we learned so much along the way. Matt is a natural born tour guide - so friendly and helpful and fun to talk to. The added activities were a great addition too - first time yabby-ing for me :-) Highly recommended!

What a beautiful tour! Matt's planning was amazing. We booked for a group of five to experience two types of kayaking, and it was an absolute blast. Not only did we have a great time learning about kayaking and sea life, but Matt's expertise in explaining it all was outstanding. Highly recommended for everyone!

Highly recommend this company for kayak tours. Matt was very friendly and had an amazing knowledge of the surrounds. We did a 1hr midday tour with our 2.5yr old. Matt made it enjoyable and kept our little one interested by showing us the yabbies and the little crabs. My hubby was initially worried as our little one struggles to sit still in one place, but the river was nice and calm and the kayaks were in great condition and it was comfortable. Matt also took lots of photos for us so we didn’t have to worry about our phones getting wet. Overall I was very happy with the services and would highly recommended Matt! We will definitely use the company again when we visit Coffs Harbour next time!!

Lovely pebble beach .Great park with Bbq's, picinic tables, public toilets & shower for washing the salt & sand off after a swim.

Amazing place playgrounds, BBQ shelters, BBQ area and showers and toilets. Of course the beach is awesome

Amazing walk, moderate plus with some 35% inclines over headlands. Great ocean views along the entire coastal trail.

From Red Rock in the north to Sawtell in the south, the Solitary Islands Coastal Walk is a 60-kilometre track that lets you experience the full wonder of the Coffs Coast. The trail is considered among the most scenic in New South Wales, beckoning you through rainforest, around dramatic rocky headlands and along dreamlike sandy beaches. You’ll never have to walk far before you get to the next friendly beachside village, and in any season you’re likely to see dolphins surfing at the beaches.

Nice park with toilets and shelter Beautiful beach.

Beautiful Hills Beach is along the Solitary Islands Coastal Walk, with a children's playground and a coffee cart.

Great little park close to the beach

This is the track to the Korora Lookout

Short boring walk down a private driveway. National parks have locked everywhere up

Lovely walk down to Korora Lookout. Listen to the audio welcome to country and the story of Gumgali the black goanna.

Brilliantly maintained track. Easy with very little elevation.. Dog friendly on lead.. Beautiful views of Coffs Coast..

This culturally rich 400 m walking track, minutes north of Coffs Harbour, leads to the stunning Korora lookout.

Nice walk. Put trainers on though to a lovely view. Some aboriginal stories when you get there!

Awesome place! I spotted a goanna as soon as I started the track. Beautiful views
