Location ID: #16516
Brunswick Heads is a small NSW north coast holiday village situated at the mouth of the Brunswick River. Nestled within the breakwater there is a safe peaceful beach while a white sandy surf beach stretches to the south. The north bank of the river hosts a protected rainforest and the southern bank provides a harbour and small marina for fishing boats and small craft. Mt Chincogan and Mt Warning provide a spectacular hinterland backdrop to the river that meanders up to the small town of Mullumbimby. Despite the surrounding coastal development, Brunswick Heads has retained its traditional seaside village atmosphere. Timber bridges link the riverside to surrounding beaches. Brunswick Heads enjoys refreshing summer breezes and warm dry winter weather with a short rainy season usually around February or March. Brunswick Heads is situated 15 minutes north of Byron Bay and 30 minutes travelling time from both Coolangatta and Ballina airports.
