Yamba occupies a coastal headland at the mouth of the Clarence River on New South Wales’s Northern Rivers coast. The town faces Iluka across the river entrance, while the Pacific Ocean forms its eastern edge and surf beaches run south towards Angourie. Yamba stands on Yaegl Country, and fishing on the lower Clarence has long shaped local life; prawns remain an important part of its seafood identity. Yamba Lighthouse on the headland is a familiar coastal marker, while the riverfront brings together marina activity and access to the broad estuary. The town is also a base for exploring the Clarence waterways and nearby Yuraygir National Park. See how Yamba connects with the Clarence River and Northern Rivers coast by browsing webcams nearby.
