An unspoilt coastal town, situated at the mouth of the Brunswick River. Brunswick Heads is a short drive from Byron Bay and the Gold Coast, so it is an ideal spot for anyone who wants to be close to the action, but not in the middle of it.

Where is it?: Brunswick Heads is situated 10km north of Byron Bay and 30 minutes travelling time from both Coolangatta and Ballina airports, and 40 kilometres south of the Queensland border.

Brunswick Heads is a small coastal holiday village situated at the mouth of the Brunswick River. Nestled within the breakwater there is the safe and peaceful Torakina 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. Mount Chincogan and Mount Warning provide a spectacular hinterland backdrop to the river that meanders up to the small town of Mullumbimby.
