coffs and surrounding..
I live in coffs too...
the nightclub in coffs is called luna and it's quite big, has three bars and a good sized dance area... across the road is the planto, which always has good bands and another big dance floor, but is heaps more relaxed. down the end of the street is another pub and across the road is the RSL club... cheap drinks! cause the planto is really expensive. so the nightlife isnt too bad... friday nights are the best for youngins and are always the busiest, and the security is pretty tight - but once you're in they don't ask for ID.
Coffs has great beaches... Aanuka resort is right on Diggers beach which is one of the best in coffs, the next beach to the north is charlesworth bay and that's where pacific bay resort is. park beach caravan park is great - right on park beach which has flags and theres a really big reserve and the jetty strip is pretty close, which has some great restaurants and an awesome surf shop. Park beach is the beach south of diggers, and you can walk there by a path over the headland. The jetty is handy as well - muttonbird island, the breakwall, and you can go jetty jumping - famous among the locals. The foreshores, just behind the jetty beach is a common spot for beach parties and has heaps of bbqs and shelters, and playgrounds.
if you wanna explore the area there's bellingen (about 1/2 an hour west of coffs), which is a post-hippy community with some cool shops and cafe's, and if you ask the locals you can get directions out to the promiselands, where there are some cool waterholes and rapids.
north a little bit from coffs (about 15 mins) is emerald beach, which is awesome for surfing, and has a nice cafe, and a bit further again is woolgoolga which again has a nice beach and some cafe's and shops. if you want to explore beaches even further north i recommend safety beach, mullaway and even red rock.
if you're up right at the end of HSC i recommend the castle rave on the 12th of nov. it's right out the back of bellingen but is really going to go off! great DJ's and also a great way to meet party-goers. not just for pill poppers either.
so, hope that helps.
