We are locals and Shearwater is our favourite restaurant.
The best view, food and service in the area.
We always feel very welcome by the staff and in a very special occasion we were surprised with a glass of sparkling to celebrate.
Highly recommend!!

A great little spot by the edge of a mangrove-like water area. You can even see the fishes swim in the water below! It's beautiful and quiet.
Great food and very friendly staff. Ordered a Ceasar salad but they ran out of the particular kind...of lettuce they advertised on the menu. They informed me, replaced it with another lettuce and knocked 10 dollars of the price for the inconvenience. Absolutely great service.
Would recommend anyone in the Coffs Harbour area to go here to grab a bite to eat!More

We came for lunch after a visit to Muttonbird Island. Had some nice drinks and juices, and the grilled swordfish was superb! The view to the water makes everything even more special.

A beautiful hidden gem overlooking Coffs Creek. Great vibe and excellent service.
I ordered a small seafood assiente - 2 natural oysters, 2 prawns, 2 scallops and half a dozen salt & pepper squid. The seafood was fresh and tender.
The food, friendly staff and...scenic location make Shearwater a must-visit while in Coffs Harbour!More
