Coffs Harbour to South West Rocks drive: Valla Beach and Nambucca Heads

The Coffs Harbour to South West Rocks drive then bypasses Urunga, before skirting near the Oyster Creek Lookout overlooking Valla Beach.

Nambucca Heads, however, is probably the best stop on the Coffs Harbour to South West Rocks drive. This pretty beach town has long been a family holiday favourite.

Things to do in Nambucca Heads include kayaking in Gaagal Wanggaan National Park and whale-watching from the Captain Cook Lookout.

For Nambucca Heads accommodation, go for the family-oriented Ingenia holiday park, the charming Riverview Boutique Motel or the pool-equipped Beach Rooms.
