Yamba is located in a fabulously beautiful location: on the southern side of the Clarence River, and nestled in between the Yuraygir and Bundjalung National Parks. Views from the Yamba Lighthouse over the Yamba township, Clarence River and the two nearby coastal parks are striking.
Yamba is excellent for beach fishing, fishing from a boat (you can hire one or launch from one of the many boat ramps around Yamba) in the Clarence River.
Yamba has a fascinating coastline of white sandy beaches nestled in coves between rocky headlands. Turners Beach, Yamba situated near the mouth of the Clarence River is a small beach, a popular family swimming spot and often has good surfing waves
