Unspoiled by development, timber bridges link the colourful village to a safe, gentle river beach and the spectacular surf beach that spans the coastline all the way to Byron Bay – just 10km south. Come and enjoy the village atmosphere with no large-scale resorts or high rise apartments instead hosting a wide range of family friendly accommodation including over 60 boutique holiday rentals, three Caravan Parks along the river and a number of Motels. You don’t have to leave your furry friend at home either with pet friendly places to stay, eat and walk.

This is foodie heaven! You’re spoiled for choice with 25 eateries, from hip cafes to award-winning restaurants, all serving inspired food and the freshest local produce. Enjoy a sun downer and live music at one of Australia’s best beer gardens at the iconic Hotel Brunswick. After 30 years the curtain is lifted on the Brunswick Picture House with family friendly movies and a regular ‘cheeky cabaret’ for parents and grandparents to enjoy. Amongst the natural beauty of the beaches and river there is a unique shopping experience to be had with an eclectic range of boutiques, second hand fare, and one of the Shire’s famous river front markets every first Saturday of the month. A truly ‘all round’ holiday experience reminiscent of the simple family holidays we used to enjoy with a bit extra thrown in. The Brunswick Heads Fairy Trail is a delight for children and adults alike. Fairies love to holiday in Bruns too. Follow the clues, available from the Brunswick Visitor Centre, to find more than 20 unique fairy houses hidden around town. Another favourite with the kids is Torakina Beach. Shady nooks make swimming in the gentle and protected waters of Torakina, inside the river mouth feel like a tropical haven as you enjoy the vibrant colours of the river. Located only 15 minutes north of Byron Bay and thirty minutes from the Gold Coast and Ballina Airports, Brunswick Heads simply has something for everyone.
