It’s the book about the Coffs Coast you haven’t seen – and it’s the one you simply must have. 

The 2025-26 Coffs Coast Visitor Guide is out now, and it provides a handy hot-list of things to see, do and enjoy for visitors and local residents alike. 

“Our tourism offering is constantly evolving. Even locals may not be aware of some of the great attractions we have right on our doorstep,” City of Coffs Harbour Mayor Nikki Williams said. 

“The new and free Visitor Guide shines a light on everything from our magnificent beaches and waterways through to shopping, tourist attractions, accommodation, entertainment and foodie experiences.” 

The 76-pager is brimming with stunning photographs from Red Rock to Sawtell, including our lush hinterland. 

The cover shot is a spectacular aerial image of Diggers Beach by local photographer Ryan Webber. 

“This year’s book is bigger and better than last year’s as we’ve moved to an A4 format which will present favourably at distribution points, including our seven Visitor Information Outlets,” City Acting General Manager Adnrew Beswick said. 

“We have arranged for 50,000 printed copies of the Guide which will be distributed far and wide – and of course locally.” 

The Guide is also available in digital format - you can read and download it here (https://isu.pub/ayHXftb). 

“The Guide is the perfect companion to the Coffs Coast Explorer app. Armed with both, you’ll never have a what-to-do moment again,” Mayor Williams said. 

“This new edition is an absolute gem for locals too – especially when friends or family come to visit.”  

The hard copy 2025-26 Guide will be available locally at tourist attractions, major accommodation outlets and at all of the City’s visitor hubs. 

“Tourism is a key activity and industry on the Coffs Coast, and The Guide ensures some of our key experiences are highlighted. The narrative has a great mix and celebrates our certification as an ECO Destination,” Mr Beswick said. 

“Plus of course we’ve made not-so-quiet mention that Woolgoolga has just been named Tourism Australia’s Best Mainland Beach.” 

The Guide includes a snapshot of the ever-popular well-established tourism must-dos – Sealy Lookout, the historic Jetty, the International Marina and renowned walks and National Parks. 

Special sections detail some of the unique experiences – from golf to action-based adventure, and Gumbaynggirr culture to Yarrila Place (Yarrila Arts & Museum and a high-tech innovative library). 

Plus, there’s an events calendar for a City which continues to shine as a premier regional destination for big ticket sporting events, festivals and performances. 

So be in the know – download or pick-up a copy now of The 2025-26 Coffs Coast Visitor Guide.
