Things to do in Nambucca Heads
Walk the V-Wall. The painted breakwall at the mouth of the Nambucca River is the town's signature attraction. Generations of visitors have left messages, artwork and holiday memories on the rocks, turning it into an open-air gallery. Follow the riverside boardwalk from town and finish with a picnic by the water.
Catch the view from Captain Cook Lookout. Perched above Shelly Beach, this lookout gives sweeping views over the river, the headlands and the coastline south. From May to November it is one of the best spots on the coast to watch humpback whales on their migration. The nearby Rotary Lookout is well worth a stop too.
Beaches, rock pools and the river. Shelly Beach has rock pools to explore at low tide, Main Beach is great for a swim between the flags in season, and the calm estuary is perfect for kayaking, paddleboarding and fishing. Warrell Creek and the surrounding waterways are home to pelicans, fairy wrens and plenty of birdlife.
Art and local culture. Browse the changing exhibitions at the Stringer Art Gallery and look out for the street mosaic on Bowra Street, which tells the story of the Nambucca River from the mountains to the sea.
National park days. Gaagal Wanggaan National Park, south of town, offers bush walks, quiet beaches and picnic spots away from the crowds.
