Regional city on
the North Coast of New South Wales, Australia.
Still mostly associated with beaches and bananas (including the tourist attraction The Big Banana), although it has dozens of much better tourist attractions and especially adventure activities such as wild-water rafting, skydiving, surfing, surf-rafting, scuba-diving, whale-watching, quad biking and much more.
Becoming increasingly
sophisticated with loads of urban cafés, award-winning
restaurants, excellent resorts, spas, galleries etc. and is a popular weekend destination from Sydney and Melbourne.
I'm going to Coffs Harbour this weekend. No, I'm NOT going to the Big Banana or revisit my childhood memories of
the caravan park, I'm going for a glam girls' weekend to a beach resort featuring lots of
champagne and
beauty salon visits.
