Overview

Evans Head is a relaxed coastal town in the Northern Rivers, set between Bundjalung and Broadwater National Parks. With a wide curved beach known as Airforce Beach, locals and visitors enjoy fishing, surfing and swimming, while the Illawong Hotel, RSL club and a range of cafés, supermarkets, butchers and clothing stores serve everyday needs. The 600‑site Evans Head Holiday Park, partly pet‑friendly, is within walking distance of these amenities, and nearby parks such as Paddon and Kalimna add green space for families and outdoor recreation.

Public transport includes Northern Rivers Buslines routes 690 and 695 (the latter continuing to Grafton), Ballina Buslines 660 to Ballina, and a daily NSW TrainLink coach between Grafton and Byron Bay. The heritage‑listed Evans Head Memorial Aerodrome provides a small commercial airfield, while a modest industrial estate sits near the airport. With a permanent population of 2,843 (2016) that swells during school holidays, the town offers a mix of permanent homes and holiday‑park accommodation, underpinned by tourism and nearby sugar‑cane farming.
