The Pet Porpoise Pool Dolphin Marine Magic (previously named the Pet Porpoise Pool) is a marine park that provides people with an educational, enjoyable and above all hands-on experience, enabling 'connection' with a variety of species of marine animals! Every visitor has the opportunity to be kissed by a seal or from a dolphin. Feeding the penguins, fish and other animals are also popular with our guests. Whether they actively participate or prefer to stand back and just watch, we know that all of our guests have ample opportunity to . . .be touched by magic! Dolphin Marine Magic is the only NSW facility exhibiting Dolphins, one of two in Australia. Our marine animals are a mix; some rescued from the wild (not suitable for return), some sourced from non-viable aquariums, but all the others have been born here at Dolphin Marine Magic.

This giant structure located just north of Coffs Harbour on the Pacific Highway, 565 kilometres north of Sydney and 450 kilometres south of Brisbane is probably the most well known "Big Thing" in Australia. Over the last 40 years the Big Banana has grown into one of the Coffs Coasts most recognised tourist attractions with fun rides, educational tours and shows, recreational facilities and a fantastic selection of food and gift products.

The Coast Hotel The old Fitzroy Hotel has undergone a massive renovation and been reborn as the Coast Hotel.

There is always something happening at the Coast.
