Newcastle to Coffs Harbour road trip: Distance, time & stops
And finally… Coffs Harbour
Entering Coffs Harbour, you’ll pass Sawtell Beach and Boambee Beach on the coast, plus the Coffs Harbour Butterfly House next to the highway.
Things to do in Coffs Harbour include whale-watching cruises, rainforest tours and skydives.
