YAMBA TRAVEL GUIDE
The Yamba guide is a collaboration between Roam and This is Incense. Together, we have a strong passion for travel and our heart strings are connected to this charming beachside town..
Yamba is located on the North Coast of NSW. No matter where you are coming from, it is a fabulous road trip with hidden gems along the way. Alternatively, you can take a short flight to Ballina with a 1 hr drive.
Yamba emanates the essence of slow living. It is cruisy, cool and full of character. The days are long and the nights are fun. It is the perfect mix of everything that epitomises an Aussie beach town of today.
We hope you fall in love with this special pocket of NSW.
THIS IS INCENSE.
"Yamba is a place that stole my heart when we first met. This town has serious surf roots and some of the best breaks.
Yamba has a deep soul. A true-blue summer town, that has a rich history and is brimming with community, buzz and creativity.
The Yamba scent was created to celebrate our special slice of paradise. It is a mixture of smoky Cedarwood, Vetiver and Patchouli.”- Sophie Marshall, This is Incense.
This is Incense creates scents to evoke memories of holidays. Each scent is a formulation of Australian blended essential oils inspired from the coastlines of Australia.
