    Couples and families alike love to holiday on the Tweed Coast where theres no shortage of beaches,

    watersports and riverside escapes. In fact, sunny days in the subtropical climate make the Tweed Coast the

    perfect holiday spot for just about anything outdoors. Head down to one of the surf beaches for a swim or surf,

    or relax by the river. The whole area is as a coastal playground, from rainforests and farmland to unspoiltbeaches and ocean adventures.

    Along with the sun, surf and sand, Tweed Heads is the ideal base for a coastal holiday thats all about fun, food

    and shopping. The town links New South Wales to Queensland along the main street and is within a short drive

    to great picnic spots, beaches and a treasure trove of offerings from local artisans. Go for a night out at Twin

    Towns Services Club or choose from a range of great restaurants.

    Head south to beautiful Kingscliff for a laidback getaway. Browse the boutiques, take a relaxing afternoon walk

    along the foreshore or pick up the pace with a bike ride around the seven kilometre network of cycle paths.

    Casual meals outside are a must-do coastal pleasure. Pack a picnic to take down to the park or end the day on

    a high note with a seafood barbecue on the waterfront.

    The Tweed River region is all about taking the time to unwind in the great outdoors. Book a river cruise or a

    fishing charter off the picturesque coastline, spotting dolphins while youre out there. The area spoils for choice

    when it comes to quaint shops and souvenirs. Once youve seen the sights and are ready for some relaxation,chill out at the renowned Golden Door Spa at Salt Village. A massage or spa treatment is just the ticket to

    holiday bliss.

    Coffs Harbour

    Coffs Harbour gets the vote from some for the best climate in Australia. Throw in swimming and surf beaches,

    a lush hinterland, playful whales and dolphins, fishing, golf courses and family attractions, and its no wonder

    Coffs Harbour is the pick of beachside holiday destinations for many.

    Kids will love a stopover at the Big Banana and a visit to the Pet Porpoise Pool, where they may be lucky

    enough to be kissed by a seal! Nature lovers will enjoy the nearby World Heritage Listed Dorrigo National Park

    and the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden in town.

    Coffs Harbour offers up a great selection of dining options that make the most of the seaside location. Top off

    a day in the sun with sensational fish and chips by the beach, or head to Wild Harvest Seafood Restaurant.

    Owned by the Fishermens Co-operative youre guaranteed to experience the freshest seafood around,

    complemented by sensational water views from its harbourside location.

    On Sundays, the Jetty Village Shopping Centre bustles with the local markets. Pick up some local arts and

    crafts, listen to some music and grab a bite to eat. Out of town, seek out some country experiences from

    horse riding to bushwalking. Whatever makes your holiday, youll find it here.

    Port Macquarie to Port Stephens

    Further south the coastal towns from Port Macquarie to Port Stephens provide a full itinerary of outdoor fun.

    Relax by the water in Port Macquarie or cruise the river by boat. Head out scuba diving or, if its in season, go

    whale watching. With so much to do on the water the only trouble will be deciding what to tackle first.

    Diamond Beach is a tranquil spot for both couples and families. Find it north of Forster youll know youre

    there when you come across the kilometres of golden sand.

    Fishing is once again on the agenda at Pacific Palms. Find yourself in ideal surrounds and prepare for a day

    of adventure on the water. Uncrowded beaches, still lakes and unspoilt nature perfect for a relaxing beach

    break.

    Look out over hinterland and beaches as you drive the two and a half hours from Sydney to Port Stephens.

    Enjoy the calm waters of Nelson Bay or mix it up in the surf breaks of Stockton, One Mile and Samurai. The

    resident dolphins can be seen during a day cruise or kayak on the bay.
