| Coffs Harbour, or simply Coffs, is a coastal city in northern New South Wales, Australia. It is the centre of the City of Coffs Harbour local government area. It is a popular holiday spot for tourists because it is far enough north to be semi-tropical, but similarly close to Sydney (540km south of Coffs) and Brisbane (440km north of Coffs) along the Pacific Highway.
Coffs Harbour is also a well known surfing spot, with regional competitions and a large surfing community within the Coffs Harbour Area.
Coffs Harbour is the hub for a thriving banana industry. One of the biggest attractions is the Big Banana, the first of Australia's Big Things (it celebrated its 40th Birthday in 2005), with the World's Largest Banana celebrating the region's best known export. There is also a popular underwater diving spot on a small natural reef.
The Coffs Harbour Jetty is an historically important timber wharf where coastal shipping once moved the timber from the hinterland. The Jetty area is the subject of current planning by Council and consultants to develop a cultural precinct and rejuvenated residential area.
Nearby the Solitary Islands Marine Park preserves a diverse underwater ecosystem that mirrors the terrestrial biodiversity, covering the southern limit of northern tropical species and the northern limits of the southern temperate species. Directly out to sea from Coffs Harbour adjacent to the man-made breakwater is Muttonbird Island. The island is a nature reserve protecting a significant Wedge-tailed Shearwater breeding site.
