About Wooli
Wooli is a true hidden gem on the New South Wales North Coast — a quiet coastal village cradled between the sparkling Pacific Ocean and the calm waters of the Wooli Wooli River. Unspoilt, uncrowded, and beautifully simple, it’s the kind of place where days slow down and nature takes centre stage.
Just a few hours south of the Gold Coast and around 90 minutes north of Coffs Harbour, Wooli feels remote in all the right ways.
Uncrowded Beaches
Wooli’s beaches are wide, clean, and rarely busy. There is space to swim, surf, fish, or walk for kilometres without feeling crowded, even in peak holiday periods. It is the kind of beach you do not need to rush to enjoy.

The Breakwall
The Wooli breakwall creates a calm, protected lagoon where the river meets the ocean. It is a popular spot for fishing and swimming, with shallow, sheltered water on one side and rugged cliff faces to explore on the other.
The Sand Dunes
Reaching the sand dunes is part of the experience. You paddle or swim across to get there, then spend time exploring and tobogganing down the slopes. It is a great outing for active families and one of Wooli’s most memorable adventures.
Wooli Wooli River
The Wooli Wooli River is calm, clear, and family-friendly. Ideal for kayaking, fishing, swimming, or an easy afternoon float, it is a great alternative when the ocean is rough or the wind picks up.
Yuraygir National Park
Surrounding Wooli is Yuraygir National Park, a protected stretch of coastline and bushland with walking tracks, wildlife, and uninterrupted ocean views. It is easily accessible and suited to both short walks and longer coastal hikes.
