New South Wales
Yamba Main Beach is a northeast-facing sandy beach in the Clarence River town of Yamba, offering fun, accessible waves that are often smaller than the more exposed beaches to the north. Protected by the headland, it handles ENE swell best and provides relatively sheltered surf. A charming fishing village setting and minimal crowds make it a great destination.
