Yamba

Yamba, on the eastern coast of NSW is an iconic surf town with a long surfy history. Far less crowded than hot-spots like Byron Bay and Sydney, Yamba is a bit of a roadtrip up from Sydney, or a one-hour flight from Byron. If you're starting out, you will find easy beginner waves at Yamba Harbour and Main Beach – but if you're into a world-class break and punchy waves, head to Angourie Point. A small, southeast facing rocky outcrop, advanced and professional surfers come here year-round for the long right handers and consistently perfect waves.
