I just love Evans Head, beautiful spot and its peaceful. The beaches are fantastic and the river is pretty. Plenty of places to swim and enjoy your day. Things to do; Aviation museum Fishing Boating Swimming Surfing Lookout Food Shopping Picnic areas Airport (which they hold the annual "Great Eastern Fly in" which was fantastic so many planes to see, markets, aviation museum and plenty of food) Public toliets Pet friendly but further up the beach past the surf club Wheelchair access to the lookout and at Shark bay.

Great little spot. High tide today - so no sandy beach. Good for fishing on bar. Toilets and picnic shelters nearby.

Evans Head has been a joy to visit. No fast food joints or franchise coffee shops. Good old fashioned bakeries, take aways and restaurants. The public facilities are well maintained and the residents keep the place clean. Will definitely return, maybe with the tinnie
