Posted: March 16, 2025Coffs Harbour and surrounding coastal towns are made up of small communities that make you feel safe and part of a big family. Helping each other out and always saying hello to strangers to make there day. You are never alone here and there is lots of beautiful exploring to do.
Posted: April 14, 2024Coffs Harbour is a regional town with a small population. Most suburbs are safe and I would feel comfortable walking around the city alone. I would be a little careful about walking in the main city at night if I didn’t know anyone because like most places there can be some petty crimes.

Coffs harbour is absolutely beautiful. Wonderful beach walks a plenty and a charming community. I stayed near the beach doing a house sitting position and it was lovely to walk to the market and the beach all within 5 minutes. I felt very safe even walking around at night.
