Another timeless day dawns at Pambula, a name derived from the Yuin Aboriginal word meaning "Two Waters".

Pambula is a coastal village big in history, its peaceful lakes and idyllic river mouth a far cry from the hustle and bustle of development following the discovery of gold near the township in the 1880's.

Ideal for family holidays, with estuary, beaches, ocean and lake in close proximity, strolling the meandering tracks through beautiful settings is just one way to enjoy Pambula's charms.

Beachcomb the sweeping sands, collect shells washed up with the tide, explore life in fascinating rock pools, lunch with the kangaroos or take a horse ride through the wetlands and river flats.

River cruises detail the Aboriginal history and wildlife of the region; dolphins may be discovered making their pilgrimage up the Pambula River in search of squid, cuttlefish and small crustaceans, sea eagles fly overhead while on the shore are Aboriginal middens over 2,000 years old.

Pambula is known for its quality local crafts, nostalgic old world restaurants, unique local produces and mix of pastoral and coastal activities. A quality craft market and trash and treasure market are held on the second Sunday of each month.

The picturesque backdrop of rolling countryside, forests and national parks lends itself to a very inviting setting.

The Ben Boyd National Park surrounds Pambula Beach and offers great walking opportunities along the Pambula River with viewing platforms along the way giving excellent photo opportunities as well as a peaceful, secluded walking experience.

Boat launching facilities on the Pambula Lake give easy access for your vessel. Make your piece of paradise in the safe and inviting family beaches near the river mouth which overlook Ben Boyd National Park.

A sealed bike and walking track connects Pambula with Pambula Beach, a distance of about 2 km.

From the Pambula Surf Life Saving Club, a short but delightful track takes the walker through avenues of native trees and strategically placed lookouts over the Pacific Ocean. The walk finishes at Jiguma Beach where the Pambula River runs out to sea.

The Lyons Park offers free BBQ's, toilets and a playground making this a great spot for the family picnic.
