All About Yamba | NSW Australia

Yamba is a popular holiday destination on the southern bank of the Clarence River in NSW, Australia. Its name is presumed to be a local Yaegl Aboriginal word which either means "carpet snake" (yambah) or "headland". Yamba lighthouse is an iconic landmark which has lit the way for over 100 years. It provides a beautiful view from the surrounding grassland and is the perfect spot for whale watching when in season, and watching the full moon rise. Yamba is known for its exceptional beaches which are ideal for swimming and surfing. Yamba, the main beach in town, has a rock pool for safe swimming and is located on the southern side of the lighthouse. On the northern side of the lighthouse is Turner's Beach. Another attraction nearby Yamba is Angourie. Angourie Back Beach is located only 5 km south of Yamba. Blue Pool, Green Pool, and Natural Rock Pool of Angourie are set in bushland behind the beach. The pools were created when a rock quarry was filled with freshwater from a subterranean spring. The quarry supplied the material for Yamba's breakwater. #australia #nsw #yamba #angourie #rockpool #beach #lighthouse #clarenceriver #walk #walking #hiking 00:00 Clarence River 00:35 Township of Yamba 01:00 Yamba Lighthouse 01:12 Yamba Main Beach 02:40 Turners Beach 03:31 Angourie Rock Pools
