Sapphire Beach

Just a short 9 km drive north of Coffs Harbour, the panoramic views, resorts, and clear blue waters of Sapphire Beach await you. Midway along Sapphire Beach is the South Solitary Island viewing platform where you can take in panoramic views of this historic lighthouse island and neighbouring island, Split Solitary Island. You can visit South Solitary Island by helicopter from May to August for a tour of the lighthouse and island. Take a boat tour or go diving in Solitary Island Marine Park waters surrounding the island. At the southern end of Sapphire Beach is White Bluff. Take the White Bluff Walking Track from the beach or Headland Rd to explore the rocky outcrops of the bluff, stop for a picnic and or take in the sunset views. There's accommodation for every taste and budget along this coastal strip, from luxury resorts and houses to the family-friendly Sapphire Beach Holiday Park. Enjoy lush subtropical grounds, local wildlife, and beachfront access to the pristine waters of Sapphire Beach. Sapphire Beach can be accessed from several exits off the Pacific Hwy. You'll find beach access points with playground facilities, cafe, beach showers, toilets, and parking.
