From its hinterland wilderness to the stunning beaches that decorate the coastline, the Tweed region on NSW’s North Coast thrums with life. Nestled between Byron Bay and the Gold Coast, this border region is a true back-to-nature escape with friendly locals, stunning landscapes and outdoor adventures to boot.
The Tweed region encompasses towns like Tweed Heads, Kingscliff and Murwillumbah, as well the hinterland villages of Pottsville, Burringbar and Uki, which are all worthy of a visit (depending on how much time you have).
It’s also considered a gateway to NSW North Coast towns like Byron Bay and the perfect pit stop if you’re on a road trip up to Queensland hotspots like the Sunshine Coast and K’gari.
Add a scoop of glorious coastline boasting plenty of beaches, a healthy helping of lush hinterland and a generous sprinkling of snaking rivers, bustling towns and natural wonders, and you’ve got the Tweed region served up on a pretty platter. Due to this perfect recipe, there are so many incredible ways to spend your time here.
You could be cycling through hinterland towns on the Northern Rivers Rail Trail one day and swimming in crystal clear waters the next. Or hitting local markets in the morning and touring locally run distilleries come the afternoon. Whatever you choose to do, we’ll warn you – the Tweed is sure to become one of your favourite holiday destinations in Australia.
