Urunga

A compact town on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales where two rivers meet the sea, Urunga is known for its surf spots — reefs, beaches, and river-mouth breaks. Its name comes from the Gumbaynggir word for "long white sands," a fitting description of the coastline. A modest central core offers cafés and restaurants, and scenic viewpoints are within easy reach, with mountains close by and the wider region ringed by UNESCO World Heritage areas.
