Diamond Beach suburb profile

Diamond Beach is a small coastal village on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales centred on a long sandy surf beach backed by dunes and coastal scrub. It has a relaxed, seaside character where days are shaped by surfing, fishing, rockpooling and coastal walks, and the night sky and ocean outlook matter as much as shops. Housing is low-rise, from weatherboard cottages to modern beach houses and holiday accommodation, and the population mixes permanent residents with those who own a weekend place. Local services are modest and fuller shopping and medical services are found in nearby Forster-Tuncurry.
