‘Sunny Sawtell’ is an attractive beachside town just 10 kilometres south of Coffs Harbour. This cosmopolitan seaside village has always been a favourite destination with visitors thanks to its pretty setting between two headlands, an attractive main street with great cafes and restaurants that are just a stroll from the popular swimming and surfing beach, and easy access to creeks and a National Park.
Sawtell’s First Avenue is characterised by the huge Moreton Bay fig trees in the colourful garden dividing the street.
