Boomerang Beach and Blueys Beach are two beautiful beach communities on the southern end of the lower Mid North Coast of NSW. Often overlooked by the hordes of travellers on the Pacific Hwy who are heading further north, these two beaches are havens for those who have discovered them.
Most people just call Boomerang Beach "Boomerang." It is larger than its neighbour, but is still a small enough village to make you feel at home, while still having all the amenities you need. While still not over-developed, it has grown in recent years and now has even more luxurious accommodations than it did in the past.
The first tourists to discover Boomerang Beach were arguably the surfers who discovered it back in the seventies. Its long, wide beach, sandwiched between two headlands that give the beach its distinctive boomerang shape, seems to act like a magnet for waves and on any given day, you can find a good surfing wave to ride there. It may not be world class, but it's always fun and consistent.
Bluey's Beach, or simply "Blueys", is just around the corner from Boomerang. It is a smaller community even than Boomerang Beach. Like its neighbour, it is a fun surfing beach and a great family beach. Those lucky families who call Blueys Beach home have a compact, mini-paradise all to themselves, but welcome visitors with open arms.
During the Christmas and Easter holidays, the Pacific Highway becomes one of the busiest roads in Australia. Most of the drivers are heading for distant locations like Coffs Harbour or the Gold Coast. A handful of the smarter travellers take a detour onto Lakes Way and are rewarded for their efforts.
The Lakes Way is one of the most popular tourist drives on this part of the mid-north coast. It doesn't pass directly through either Boomerang Beach or Bluey's Beach, but the turn-off onto Boomerang Drive has become a very popular diversion. The Lakes Way Drive, which passes through wonderful bushland, is one of the most enjoyable drives you will find anywhere. Taking the turn-off onto Boomerang Drive makes it all the better.
What better way to spend the day than to take a drive on the open road and take a break at the beach while you're at it? There is a better way. Instead of stopping for a few hours, book a Boomerang Beach accommodation or a Blueys Beach accommodation and stay for awhile. You'll love them both and when you leave, you will feel refreshed and renewed. You may even decide there's no place else you want to go.
