There’s something about the ocean. Something deep in our bones that calls us back. Maybe it’s the way the waves carry our thoughts away, the salt air slows our breath, or the horizon stretches endlessly, reminding us to exhale.

Science confirms what we already know: the ocean heals. Sunlight boosts serotonin, negative ions in the sea air promote better sleep, and the rhythm of the waves gently resets our nervous system. But beyond the science, there’s the feeling—the weightlessness of floating in saltwater, the grounding of warm sand underfoot, the deep calm that settles in when you’re surrounded by nature.

Imagine this: the sun rising above the horizon, casting a golden glow over one of the best beaches NSW has to offer. That golden light that transforms into a glowing masterpiece, with incredible sunrises igniting the horizon in fiery hues and sunsets painting the sky in soft pinks and oranges over arguably one of the best beaches in NSW.

There’s something undeniably magical about a picnic. Whether it’s a romantic moment for two, a laid-back afternoon with friends, or memory-making with the kids, there’s no better way to slow down and savour the beauty of nature.

Fresh air, delicious bites, and a postcard-perfect backdrop—what more could you ask for? At The Beach Havens, we believe the simplest moments often bring the greatest joy. Whether you’re into seaside snacking, creekside lounging, or headland feasting, an outdoor meal always seems to taste a little better.

Ok, Melbourne, don’t panic. You still have great coffee. But—brace yourself—Coffs Harbour has just been crowned the best coffee city in Australia. Yep, we’re talking number one. Ahead of the Gold Coast, ahead of Sydney, and yes… ahead of Melbourne. If you just did a spit-take into your long black, don’t worry—you’re not alone. But we promise, this isn’t some caffeine-induced fever dream. The numbers don’t lie. A recent study by Remitly (a company that clearly takes its coffee research as seriously as we do) analyzed millions of reviews, Instagram hashtags, and café ratings across Australia. And guess what? Coffs Harbour came out on top.
