Yamba Clarence River NSW

March 22, 2017 by David Herd

Wonderful NSW coastal town

Yamba Clarence River NSW

 Yamba Clarence River NSW Coast has a population of just over 6,000, which tends to triple in the holiday season. The economy is based on tourism & fishing. Yamba  was my 2nd stop after leaving Surfers Paradise where I had spent a week catching up with friends.

Mathew Flinders was the first European to visit Yamba Bay in July 1799. 

If you live in Yamba you gotta have a boat.

The fishing is wonderful all along the NSW Coast.

If you don’t have a boat…

Go to one of the seafood restaurants along the Clarence River.

Or buy fresh seafood here

Then sit in the park close by and enjoy it. 🙂

Or perhaps here

I really love those Sydney Rock oysters (double this price in Sydney) plus the fabulous prawns.

Here is the place to eat

A nice park overlooking the water is the perfect spot to polish off your prawns & oysters.

You can watch the waves rolling in

When the Pacific Hotel in Yamba in northern New South Wales opened in 1934 it was lauded as “the most perfectly appointed place of all seaside resorts north of Sydney”.
