Wing foiling & windsurfing at Whiting Beach Yamba Whiting Beach is situated just inside the heads at Yamba on the NSW mid-north coast. This is a great spot for flat water blasting and riding the odd swell coming through the heads. It works best in a NE breeze. If the wind is blowing from the SE, check out The Peninsula. Read more...

Wing Foiling & Windsurfing at the Peninsula at Yamba When the wind swings around to the SE, this is a good spot for wing foiling and possibly also windsurfing in Yamba. If the wind is blowing from the NE, Whiting Beach is a better option. This lovely secluded beach is dog friendly so you can take your pooch with you. Read more...

  We just loved everything about Yamba! It has very good services overall but still has that old-school beach town vibe without being over developed. The wing foiling here is great and it is also great for kiters and windsurfers. The pub is a highlight for dinner with killer views. Downtown you will find a great array of cafes, restaurants, bars and shops.
  We will definitely be visiting Yamba again in the future.
