Yamba, New South Wales

When Australian Traveller magazine picked Yamba out as the best town in the country back in 2009, it was something of a surprise. There’s not a lot to do beyond surfing, sunbaking and strolling, but Yamba has a magical collection of pretty beaches. Despite getting on the traveller’s radar, Yamba still maintains its easy-going beach town charm. See yambansw.com.au
