At Brunswick Heads, river and sea meet in a setting full of character. The boat harbour is a natural base for local boating, fishing and exploring the region’s calm waterways, with the township’s cafés, beaches and easy coastal spirit nearby.
The harbour provides valuable access and a protected point of connection for the local boating community. It is a practical place to begin the day on the water and return to for the pleasures of Brunswick Heads ashore.
