224   The sleepy coastal town of Yamba, in northern New South Wales, with the Pacific Ocean lapping at its doorstep, is surrounded by picturesque landscapes. Beaches and secluded bays are nearby, but it is the Clarence River that is the main reason for the town's existence, and its continuing prosperity and popularity as a tourist destination. The river offers a calm port for a fleet of  fishing boats, and visitors  flock to the area to surf and swim in the sea, to fish in both the ocean and the wide river, and to explore the nearby national park.
