Yamba Main Beach
Main Beach
A curved beach in the town centre with lifeguards on duty and a natural ocean pool among the rocks. The grassy park and cafés behind it are the heart of Yamba life.
Main Beach lies between Pilot Hill, where the lighthouse stands, and a headland to the south. The waves here are fairly gentle. Lifeguards are on duty in summer, making it good for swimming and first surfing lessons. At the north end, the Yamba Ocean Pool is enclosed by reefs, so it stays safe for swimming even when the surf is big. Above the sand, the grassy Flinders Park is ideal for a picnic, and across the way is the classic Pacific Hotel with its viewing terrace. A few minutes' walk north brings you to the breakwater and Turners Beach, while Convent Beach lies to the south. The beach is free and within walking distance of the town centre.
