Sawtell Beach & Village
Sawtell
A seaside town south of Coffs Harbour, with cafés lining a fig-tree-shaded main street and surf beaches and a river mouth suited to families.
Sawtell is about 10 km south of Coffs Harbour. In the middle of its main street, First Avenue, stands a century-old fig tree, and cafés, restaurants and an old cinema line both sides, giving the town a relaxed atmosphere. The beach is patrolled by lifeguards, with a seawater pool at the northern end. On the south side, the calm, shallow mouth of Bonville Creek is ideal for children to paddle and for stand-up paddleboarding. Sawtell Headland north of town is a great place to watch whales and the sunrise. Reach it by train or drive about 15 minutes.
