Just south of Woolgoolga and about 15 minutes north of Coffs Harbour, Emerald Beach is a fantastic destination for families and children. Boasting soft sands and warm waters, it is more peaceful and quiet than the other beaches along the Coffs Coast, making it perfect for children to play in. There is also a playground in the park behind the beach. After a tiring and fun day of frolicking in the sea, head to the Saltwater Cafe and Restaurant near the beach for fantastic views of the coastline with your meal.
