Located in the Northern Rivers region on the far north coast with lush tropical rainforests, 32kms of pristine sandy beaches and crystal clear waterways, endless streams, lakes and estuaries, waterfalls and the vast reaches of the Richmond River, the Ballina Coast and Hinterland is truly a natural wonder. There are a number of breathtaking headland lookouts and coastal walkways that have been used in a variety of filming productions and there is easy access to Seven Mile Beach and South Ballina Beach to capture the perfect beach shot. Away from the coast our hinterland is dotted with charming historical villages, lush rolling hills, rainforests and majestic valleys surrounded by farmland reminiscent of the Tuscan countryside.
