One of the best things about staying on the Coffs Coast?
You don’t have to go far to feel like you’ve completely stepped into nature.
Within minutes, you can be walking through rainforest, along a headland, or beside a creek—depending on what kind of day you feel like having.
At Coffs Coast Holiday Parks, our parks are perfectly placed to help you experience it all, whether you’re after an easy family walk or something a little more adventurous.
Why Bushwalking on the Coffs Coast Is So Unique
The Coffs Coast is where the mountains meet the ocean.
You’ll find:
- Subtropical rainforests
- Coastal headlands and beaches
- Creekside boardwalks and mangroves
- Hinterland waterfalls and forest trails
It’s this mix that makes bushwalking here so special—every track feels different, even if it’s just a short drive away.
Keep an eye out while you walk—you might spot koalas, wallabies, native birds, or even whales along the coastline in season.
