The annual Top Tourism Town Awards are the chance for destination hotspots like Yamba to claim the spotlight and showcase their communities and all they have to offer tourism.

Once again, Yamba has made the shortlist for this coveted award, so share your love for our beautiful seaside town by casting your vote.

Voting closes 5pm Friday 12 May but don’t wait till then — do it today!

We’ll leave it to Business NSW to explain some of the reasons why Yamba has been the perfect place to holiday for generations.

When your most difficult decision of the day is which of the five beautiful beaches to choose from (insert quick surf check here!), you know your day is heading in the right direction. Promenades along the river with our old mates, the pelicans, you’ll find Yamba is best explored by foot or via the many bike trails, so you wouldn’t need to start the engine of your car again if you don’t want to.

Yamba, in Northern New South Wales, is home to the tip of the Yuraygir National Park and the pinnacle of a 65km coastal trail stretching along the Clarence Valley coastline. Follow the footsteps of the coastal emu with the signposted track, which traverses the coastline from Yamba to Red Rock. The scenery and views along the way are diverse and astounding. You’ll encounter wildlife and wildflowers as you walk past heathland plains, long sandy beaches, tranquil creeks, lagoons, rocky headlands, and even a marine park.
