ADVERTISING FEATURE: Show off the Coffs Coast this summer

WITH family and friends arriving for Christmas, New Year and school holidays, many locals find themselves playing tour guide – and the good news is it’s never been easier to show off everything the Coffs Coast has to offer!

A great place to start is coffscoast.com, the region’s official visitor website and a handy one-stop shop for planning days out close to home.

From markets, live music and holiday workshops to beachside walks and family-friendly attractions, the What’s On pages make it easy to see what’s happening while guests are in town.

The site is packed with ideas on where to eat and drink, whether you’re chasing a casual café catch-up, a long lunch, or somewhere special to book for Christmas Day.

There are also plenty of suggestions for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, plus practical tips for rainy days when the weather doesn’t play along.

For anyone keen to explore in a more interactive way, the Coffs Coast Explorer app adds another layer to the experience.

The free app includes a range of self-guided trails that are perfect for showing visitors a different side of the region.

History lovers can step back in time with four different Heritage Trails, including the latest which brings the stories of Coffs Harbour’s City Centre to life through photos, films and fascinating local anecdotes.

Families with kids can head to the Botanic Gardens and take on the Wildlife Quest, a fun mission to track down six virtual animals hidden throughout the gardens.

Art fans can wander the City Centre Street Art Trail, discovering colourful murals and the stories behind them.

Whether you’re hosting for a day or a week, the visitor website and app make it easy to plan, explore and share the Coffs Coast you love.
