Scotts Head is a coastal village in the Nambucca Valley LGA on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, home to 986 residents according to the 2021 Census. It sits about 10 km north of the Pacific Highway and 480 km north of Sydney, offering easy road access while retaining a relaxed seaside feel. The village centre, Scotts Head Central, provides a bakery, butchery, bottle shop, fish‑mongery, coffee shop and a real‑estate agency, and a nearby caravan park supplies beachfront cabins for short‑term stays. Education is served by a small public school of roughly 110 pupils and the state’s only English‑Indonesian bilingual school opened in 2010.

Residents enjoy a strong surf culture, with two beaches, Little (or Back) Beach and the main beach extending to the Nambucca River mouth, renowned for right‑handed breaks, occasional turtle sightings and whale migrations offshore. A surf‑lifesaving club, bowling club and the surrounding dunes create an active outdoor lifestyle, while the housing mix includes permanent homes, caravan‑park cabins and rental properties. Nearby coastal spots such as South Beach, Fosters Beach and Forster Beach lie just over a kilometre away, adding further recreation options.
