Stretching 65km between Yamba and Coffs Harbour, Yuraygir National Park protects NSW's longest undeveloped coastline. Sheltered beaches like Murrays Beach, Shelley Beach, and the calm waters near Brooms Head offer exceptional swimming and snorkeling conditions among rocky headlands and quiet bays. The park's clear ocean waters reveal rocky reefs just offshore, while accessible entry points at Station Creek, Pebbly Beach, and Angourie Bay make exploring the underwater world a highlight of this pristine coastal wilderness.

Open ocean beaches can experience strong rip currents, especially during larger swell conditions.
Low risk: Limited mobile reception
Mobile phone reception is very limited throughout the park, making emergency contact difficult.
Low risk: Marine stingers
Bluebottles and other marine stingers may be present in warmer months along exposed beaches.
