Coffs Harbour to Tweed Heads road trip: Byron to Tweed Heads
From Byron Bay to Tweed Heads, it’s a 45 minute drive, first heading past Belongil Beach and the Tyagarah Nature Reserve.
Brunswick Heads arguably has the best beach out of several crackers just off the Pacific Highway.
Further on, Mooball National Park is to the west, while coastal towns Pottsville, Hastings Point and Cabarita Beach are to the east.
On the highway, Tropical Fruit World in Duranbah offers hundreds of exotiv fruits, plus a farm tour that includes a boat cruise and animal park.
You can also go inland slightly for rum-tasting at the Husk Distillery.
The highway rejoins the coast at Kingscliff, where you can hire a kayak from Watersports Guru. And, after Kingscliff, you reach Tweed Heads.
