North Coast

A LONG STRETCH OF COAST OFFERING NATURAL BEAUTY AND VARIED LIFESTYLES

Not many regions in Australia can offer retirees what the New South Wales North Coast region has: golden pristine beaches, beautiful hinterland, fantastic fishing spots and an exciting food and wine scene.

The North Coast is also an interesting destination to relocate to during retirement because it encompasses different areas, each one offering a unique lifestyle.

The region stretches more than 700 kilometres north of Sydney and comprises popular tourist destinations like Byron Bay and Port Macquarie, smaller seaside towns like Brunswick Heads and regional cities like Lismore.

If you’re looking forward to enjoying fishing during your retirement, Hawks Nest is a great alternative. If you prefer a thriving city hub, you will love living in Newcastle, where you can enjoy trendy cafés, stunning beaches and an exciting arts scene.

Health services can be a deciding factor when choosing the best location to retire to. The North Coast is home to several health facilities, like Byron Central Hospital, Ballina District Hospital and the Tweed Hospital, which offer a wide range of healthcare services.
