Set on the sparkling waters of the Coffs Coast, Coffs Harbour International Marina is a vibrant waterfront precinct and a must-visit for travellers. With 168 berths and international port status, the marina is a gateway for vessels arriving to and departing from Australia—and a hub for unforgettable ocean experiences.
Visitors can book whale watching and dolphin cruises, snorkelling and scuba diving adventures, fishing charters or a relaxing twilight sail. Prefer to stay on shore? Enjoy free experiences including scenic walks over Muttonbird Island, exploring the three breakwalls, watching the commercial fishing fleet unload, or spotting abundant marine life from the marina boardwalk.
The marina is proudly certified as both a Clean Marina and Fish Friendly Marina, and is also home to waterfront dining, an art gallery, a hair salon—and some of the best ice cream on the Coffs Coast.
