Ballina Coast & Hinterland
Gateway to the Northern Rivers
Welcome to the astonishing natural beauty and unique cultural diversity of New South Wales’ North Coast. Wander through the quiet country Hinterland to world heritage rainforests and hidden waterfalls, relax and enjoy the pristine white sand beaches, or cruise on the tranquil waters of the Richmond River.
Ballina is a great starting point to explore the best of the Northern Rivers, and offers a diverse range of affordable accommodation for a family beach holiday or a romantic adventure for two. Come and discover Ballina Shire, one of Australia’s most irresistible holiday destinations.
There’s always something to do, with an olympic pool and waterslide, golf, tennis, lawn bowls, walking, cycling, ten pin bowling, skate park, cinema, shopping centres and the numerous restaurants and cafés to sit back in and relax.
The beautiful beaches and waterways offer swimming, surfing, kayaking, windsurfing, boating, sailing, fishing, horse riding or a historic cruise on the Richmond River and the headlands provide an ideal place to hang glide or do a spot of whale and dolphin watching.
Head off to the pioneer villages and farms of the Hinterland Plateau, enjoy the fresh local produce, galleries, markets and antique shops or the lush subtropical parks and forest with an adventurous 4WD ecotour.
