The Bundjalung National Park surrounds the town, it offers scenic walks and the chance to spot some local wildlife. Appreciate the whole area by driving from the centre of town across the bridge, To Woodburn past the boat harbour, take the ocean drive and enjoy spectacular (Pacific Hwy) views from Razorback Lookout which is also ideal for whale watching.
