About Brunswick Heads
Brunswick Heads is a small, idyllic coastal village in the Byron Shire of northern New South Wales, situated where Brunswick River meets the Pacific Ocean approximately 55 km south of Gold Coast Airport. Unlike the more commercially developed towns of the Northern Rivers region, Brunswick Heads has retained its fishing village character — a genuine gem of the NSW North Coast that attracts visitors who value authenticity, tranquillity, and natural beauty over tourist infrastructure.
The town is centred around the Brunswick River, which is tidal and navigable for several kilometres inland. River swimming, canoeing, and fishing are the main recreational activities, and the river mouth beach is sheltered and excellent for families with young children. The main beach faces the ocean and has good surf conditions, attracting experienced surfers looking for a break from the crowds of Byron Bay just 8 km to the south.
Brunswick Heads has a small but excellent selection of cafes and restaurants, including the famous Hotel Brunswick, which has been a regional institution for decades. The town’s markets and community events draw visitors from Byron Bay and beyond, and the slower pace of life here is a genuine drawcard for those looking to decompress.
From Gold Coast Airport, Brunswick Heads is approximately 55 km south — a 45 to 60 minute drive via the M1 motorway and Pacific Highway. The journey crosses the Queensland-New South Wales border and passes through Tweed Heads, Banora Point, and Mullumbimby before reaching the village. We service all Brunswick Heads addresses with fixed-price, door-to-door transfers.
