About Angourie

Angourie is a tiny coastal locality on New South Wales's North Coast, situated approximately 5 kilometres south of Yamba in the Clarence Valley area. With a population of 192 residents spread across just 3.5 square kilometres of dramatic headland, it is one of Australia's most intimate surf communities. The locality's median income of around $37,000 reflects its relaxed, lifestyle-first character, attracting those who value proximity to the sea over urban convenience.

Angourie holds the distinction of being the first gazetted National Surfing Reserve in New South Wales, earning its enduring reputation as the home of soul surfing thanks to a world-class point break that has attracted legendary surfers for decades. The grassy headland offers sweeping coastal views and the Blue Pool — a natural ocean rock pool — is a beloved local swimming spot. With no town centre of its own, residents rely on nearby Yamba for cafes, shops, schools, and services, making Angourie an escape for those seeking a quiet, nature-immersed lifestyle close to the Pacific.
