The Far North Coast of NSW stretches from Red Rock (just north of Coffs Harbour) up to the Queensland border in Tweed Heads, covering over 280km of coastline. The Pacific Highway passes through the length of this region, staying fairly close to the coast along much of the route.
With a warm climate and a stretch of coast like this, it should come as no surprise that outdoors is the place to be. The beach culture is strong, with expanses of sand varying between the very busy, such as around Byron Bay, and the more isolated stretches, such as Ten Mile Beach south of Evans Head.
Along both the coast and inland are an abundance of national parks, state parks and forests, so bushwalking, birdwatching and photography opportunites are ample.
