The town is situated on the beach with an amazing creek to swim, snorkel, paddle boarding and fishing and spend hours of fun in. There is also a boat ramp and walking & bike tracks and also a large children’s playground nearby, Pottsville is a great family friendly town and close to the famous Rail Trail which goes from Murwillumbah to Mooball. Make sure you experience the creek at high tide – especially incoming tide (1-3 hours before high tide) – where you can walk to the creek mouth, jump in and float down the creek without lifting a finger! When the weather I clear and sunny, the water colour resembles Fiji it is so stunning! There is a ‘creek beach’ on the north side of the creek which is great for kids! You can access from Tweed Coast Road and the walking track to the creek beach next to Ambrose Brown Park/playground. Again, incoming high tide is always best for the creek as it is tidal and flows in from the ocean (rather than the outgoing tide which brings water from further inland which can be murkier). The local creek is stunning and perfect for families with young kids. Spend your days building sandcastles, catching crabs & floating out with the tide. Pottsville has a variety of family-owned shops and restaurants such as, Potty Mouth Pizza and the Pottsville Tavern, IGA, chemist, a great butcher, supermarkets, bakeries and newsagency. We recommend you must try the Izakaya Potts Japanese restaurant the food is delicious! Otherwise, there is the award-winning Pipit Restaurant if you’re looking for a luxury 5-course meal, the bar or fish and chip shop, or the Thai, Chinese and Mexican Restaurant.
