About Brunswick Heads

Brunswick Heads is a small and unspoilt village on the NSW north coast, situated at the mouth of the Brunswick River.  Boasting a population of 1,800 people.

Traditionally Brunswick Heads enjoys light summer breezes and warm dry winter weather with a short rainy season usually around February/March.

Most things in “Bruns” are within easy walking or cycling distance.  A large commercial fishing fleet resides at the Marina, which contributes to the lovely fresh seafood available locally.  Brunswick Heads is a great place for fishing, whale watching and dolphins can be sighted regularly from the breakwall.  While in Brunswick Heads be sure to check out the entertainment and meals at the family-friendly pub – the iconic Brunswick Heads Hotel.

A beautiful beach and a river that runs right beside the town are just one of the reasons that families keep returning to Brunswick Heads to experience the simple pleasures “Bruns” continues to offer.  Timber bridges link the riverside to a safe, quiet beach, Torakina,  at the mouth of the Brunswick River and to the surf beach (seasonally patrolled) that spans the coastline all the way to Byron Bay.  As yet undiscovered by developers “Bruns” retains a very laid back village ambiance.

There is never a shortage of markets in Brunswick Heads and its neighbouring towns – especially Byron Bay.  Brunswick Heads hosts a variety of community events including the annual Woodchop Festival, Old and Gold Festival, Family Triathlon, Mullum to Bruns Paddle and the Kites and Bikes Festival.

The small community of Bruns has ensured that there is a quality mix of cafes and restaurants to cater for families, couples and the most discerning visitors.

Once you visit Bruns you’ll never want to leave………it truly is a……. simple pleasure…..
