Whether you're looking for adventure, relaxation, to wine and dine, shop, or time spent in nature, Urunga in the Bellingen Shire has it all.
A 2km return walk, the famous accessible Urunga ocean Boardwalk provides spectacular views from the tidal lagoon to the ocean, and mountain views on the return. As you pass the saltwater swimming pool of the Lido, the sand flats in low tide will reveal thousands of soldier crabs busy foraging for food and you may encounter a ray or two on a lucky day, the usual schools of fish, mangroves, pelicans, Eastern water dragons, and so many more incredible species that call the species rich estuary and rivers of Urunga their home. The boardwalk leads to Urunga's long white sand beaches that stretches all the way past Hungry Head to Wenonah Headland in the south, and for the perfect photo, we recommend a visit at dawn or dusk to capture it in all its glory.
The Lido is the best spot in town for a swim, and the kids will love the accessible jetty and pontoon, and ramps and Mobi-Mats allow access for those with beach wheelchairs or restricted mobility. The foreshore also has a children's playground, BBQ, and bathroom facilities, making this a great place to spend the entire day.
The Urunga Wetlands are another must visit. Located on Hillside Drive near Giinagay Way, the site was once an old antinomy processing plant. The once polluted soils and waters have been regenerated creating a sanctuary for native species. The short walk includes an accessible boardwalk that takes you over the wetland's waters, with gravel track taking you through native bushland.
For those who live for the ocean, the picture-perfect long sand beaches of Urunga make the ideal spot for swimming, surfing, bodyboarding, or simply soaking in the sun.
The surf breaks along the NSW North Coast are some of the best in the country, with many towns in between Newcastle and Byron Bay having bred international surfing champions.
For the best surfing spots around Urunga we recommend heading to Hungry Head five minutes to the south of town, or North Beach in Mylestom, and both beaches are patrolled by Surf Life Saving in holiday periods so are excellent for all members of the family. Wenonah Headland is also a popular spot for those in the know, but access is via gravel road and the beach is unpatrolled so we only recommend this spot to more advanced surfers.
There are plenty more nearby noteworthy spots if you are keen to venture a little further, in the north head to Sawtell and Coffs Harbour and Valla Beach, Nambucca & Scotts Head to the south.
If you or the kids would like to learn how to surf, Waves to Wilderness operate individual or group lessons in Coffs Harbour.
