Yamba, Coastal town on Clarence River in New South Wales, Australia
Yamba extends across eleven beaches at the mouth of the Clarence River, featuring ocean swimming pools and surfing conditions for different skill levels.
The area, initially named Shoal Bay in 1854, received its current name in 1885 and grew into a tourist destination after railway connections in 1930.
The Yaegl and Bundjalung people maintain connections to the coastal areas, establishing permanent settlements near the Clarence River before European arrival.
The town provides accommodations ranging from hostels to boutique hotels, with regular farmers markets on Wednesdays displaying regional produce.
The Port of Yamba Historical Society Museum displays maritime artifacts and township history from Tuesday through Sunday with guided walking tours.
