Luke Young • December 20, 2022

When fed up from driving and surrounded by naturistic locales which Coffs Harbour has in spades, it’s one of our most well-received recommendations to enjoy a family day out on foot! Let’s talk about it.

 

๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ One Map to Rule Them All!

Not too long ago, we brought to life a vision–to reveal to our guests the very best that Coffs’ Jetty district has to offer, as well as a variety of extra things,  all within walking distance from The Observatory Apartments.

 

Well, our map is available from reception, and will be your guide!

 

๐Ÿ‘ฃ Oh, the Places You’ll Go

Now, map in hand–let’s mock up a little itinerary: grab your favourite note-taking app or good ol’ fashioned paper!

 

 ๐Ÿณ Enjoy an early-bird coffee or cheeky brunch after a well-earned sleep-in. Just peruse the community favourite Brekky & Brunch Hot Spots. Supply is a particularly good option with a great holiday vibe and that perfect walking distance.

 

 ๐Ÿฅพ Walk off that brekkie with an adventure along a walking trail. Your choices are plenty and we’ve written in-depth about a lot of the locations in our Best Walking Trails article, so have a look at it!

 

 ๐Ÿฟ Something for the kids? After a walk, they might fidget and we’ll point you to our two-part Kiddos Activities guide, with a show at Dolphin Marine Conservation Park at the top of our list of recommendations!

 

 ๐Ÿ“ธ Grab a photo whilst the sun is shining! Our Fave Photo Spots article will have you spoiled for choice of a background, and your wall at home is about to get a new addition.

 

๐ŸดFrom the cocktail-tastic Element Bar to a Taste of North India, you needn’t stray far as just a block before you arrive home to your self-contained apartment you’ll pass a huge range of delicious local eating spots and our Delightful Dinners article is here to help guide you.

 

 ๐Ÿงบ Should you wish to swap your brunch or dinner for a picnic, we can also round out the best spots in detail with a Best Park & Picnics list!

 

 ๐ŸŽ† And if you’re ever planning a day out on a Friday, Saturday or a Sunday, you’ll be blessed with a choice of markets to visit, too! We’ve got 5 Favourites to keep an eye on, and the stand-out is the Twilight Food Markets on a Friday evening outside the Winter period.

 

With your itinerary at your footsteps, use this article as a guide. Your abundance of options only grows from here! So happy reading!
