Yamba is my new favourite spot on the East Coast of Australia – so I’ve teamed up with Yamba YHA and Epic Gap Year to give away a 3 night stay there!
In the last month I’ve headed down the coast to Yamba from Byron Bay twice now – both times with a solid crew of buddies in tow who have now fallen in love with the place!
Yamba has become our holiday from our holiday!
I’ve already chatted about why Yamba is my hidden gem of the East Coast Australia – but incase you haven’t checked it out I can summarise the draw of Yamba in these simple words;
Empty beaches, pumping surf, amazing weather, awesome people and all round good times!
In fact Yamba has been voted the best coastal town in Australia – that’s no easy win!
Whether you’re paddling out in the uncrowded surf breaks, cliff jumping into fresh water plunge pools, strolling around the beautiful coastal walks or just enjoying a slower pace of life – it’s a great stop off.
I’ve loved my time there so much I’ve teamed up with the crew of the Yamba YHA (who are half the reason you’ll love your stay there so much!) to create a dedicated Yamba Stopover for my other site – Epic Gap Year.
And since I’m in such a good mood after a long weekend of sun drenched surfing I’ve decided to give away a 3 night stay there!

Sounds like a great spot. After breaking my foot on my first surf lesson I would love to try again!
It’s an awesome place to explore! You broke your foot?! OW! Stoked to see it hasn’t put you off though!
