A snapshot of Brunswick Heads.
You're always welcome at Brunswick Heads. It's a very special place, an unspoiled coastal village fifteen minutes north of Byron Bay and thirty minutes south of Queensland's Gold Coast. Unspoiled, yet you can get a good cup of coffee. Where peace prevails. Where our values are old-fashioned, even as you tuck into contemporary food. The shops are eclectic, the pleasures are many. And where a clean, uncrowded beach, wide streets, quiet nights, a smile and a friendly g'day are still considered invaluable to a memorable holiday. Photo by David Young
About Brunswick Heads
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 a safe, quiet beach at the mouth of the Brunswick River and to the surf beach that spans the coastline all the way to Byron Bay.
Brunswick Heads enjoys refreshing summer breezes and warm dry winter weather with a short rainy season usually around February or March.
Brunswick Heads has a resident population of around 2000.
The small community of Brunswick Heads has ensured that there is a quality mix of cafes, restaurants, specialty shops, accommodation and a variety of activities to cater for families, couples and the most discerning visitors.
Brunswick Heads is situated 15 minutes north of Byron Bay and 30 mins minutes travelling time from both Coolangatta and Ballina airports.
