Introducing Nambucca Heads
Spacious, sleepy and unspoilt, Nambucca Heads is strewn over a dramatically curling headland where estuaries from the Nambucca River interlace. It has beautiful buttery beaches and lucent water.

The Nambucca (which means ‘many bends’) Valley was occupied solely by the Gumbainggir people until European timber cutters arrived in the 1840s. There are still strong Aboriginal communities in Nambucca Heads and up the valley in Bowraville.
The very helpful Nambucca Heads visitor centre (6568 6954; cnr Riverside Dr & Pacific Hwy) doubles as the main bus terminal and has a nice spot on the estuary.
