The north coast of New South Wales has plenty of beaches to get most excited. With a good road network and easily accessible breaks. The likes of Tweed River Breakwall down to Coffs Harbour-North Wall you have more than enough beaches to keep you busy if you like to explore. A good mixture of sand and reef bottom beaches.
