Tweed: between the coast and the countryside (Australia)

Tweed is a stunning coastal and rural region of Australia situated in northern New South Wales, recently named by Lonely Planet as one of the world’s top travel destinations for 2027. Just south of the Gold Coast and close to Byron Bay, this area offers a combination of unspoilt beaches, riverside villages and a lush hinterland nestled within the volcanic caldera of Wollumbin, ideal for those seeking a slower pace of travel. Here, you can discover the local Aboriginal culture, perhaps on a Tweed Escapes river cruise dedicated to foraging for wild edibles.
