South Beach, which is on the opposite side of the Nambucca River, is a top spot for fishing for tailor, jewfish, salmon and the odd snapper. The whiting congregate closer to the river mouth in summer and spring but once it gets cold the fishing is better for bream and black fish.
Nambucca Heads' Main Beach features small beginner waves and several surf schools. If this isn't your first time on a board, head around the southern bluff to Beilby's Beach.
