Great Indian food and very reasonable prices. For these guys "Medium" is rather hot so order your food "mild" if you don't want it spicy! The decor is kitch but the food very tasty.

A nice cafe on the river, the food is here is good (not outstanding), but the real highlight is the hand made macaroons (and you can buy them take away)! They are delicious... and include flavours like lemon myrtle, salted caramel, blueberry and lots of others.... all amazing.

The reason to go here is to be able to sit on the outside deck overlooking the ocean.... and that is hard to find in Coffs. The food is just average at best pub grub, but the beer is cold and with a bowl of hot chips and an ocean view its good for that.

Now called NOURISH cafe (formely Headland) - Licensed Cafe, Restaurant, Coffee Shop, also mini general store.

They sometimes even have special live music events.

An old style Aussie Pub that is a popular with locals. Has a bistro (usually: Tuesday - Saturday 12-2pm + 5.30-7.30pm) , pool table, TAB, cold beers and a bottle shop. This is one pub that has not been "gentrified" so the decor is a bit dated but the service and locals are friendly. In winter the wood combustion fire heater creates a homely atmosphere. They have occasional live music on weekends. It's honest pub grub at average+ standard.

Parks & Nature
Beautiful beachs and coastline. North Valla beach has great surf when its working, "middles" has some natural caves and Deep Creek runs into the sea at South Valla beach with great places to swim (and sometime surf as well). South Valla beach even has a lovely natural rock pool swimming hole (good from low to mid tide)! No Dog Beach.

Know where to start from - There is a long way and relatively shorter way. The long way starts from the Rainforest centre and it can take about 3km one way. The shorter and paved way is you go by your car to the Glen picnic area and start your walk from there. It is good 25-30mins one way but the way up is relatively difficult for young children.

Funky fun little town that has a artsy / bohemian / hippy feel. A range of interesting shops and great cafes and restaurants make it a great place for sightseeing, a meal, a wine or beer at the pub (often with live music). Kind of like Byron Bay about 20 years ago (character but without so many crowds)
