Urunga

Faithful to the iconic Australian beach holiday ideal, the coastal areas of Urunga and Mylestom offer an unspoiled seaside haven where holiday-makers can escape the crowds and find their own place in the sun.

Urunga is the gateway to a tidal lagoon and a sweep of beautiful beaches to the south. A friendly seaside town at the junction of the Bellinger and Kalang rivers, its beaches are accessible via an 800-metre boardwalk across the Urunga lagoon.

Dolphins and pelicans frequent the riverfront, and the subtropical climate warms the shallow waters of the lagoon, creating a tranquil swimming pool for year round enjoyment. At low tide on a warm day the gentle sands will be alive with soldier crabs twinkling blue in the sun.

Aquatic recreation opportunities abound: fish, surf, sail or swim at the pristine beaches, the grand rivers or in the protected waters of the lagoon.
