Pacific Bay Resort – Coffs Harbour Bypass Works
Guests visiting Pacific Bay Resort should be aware that road access has temporarily changed due to the Coffs Harbour Bypass project.
From Monday 13 July 2026 until late August 2026, the Charlesworth Bay Road intersection with the Pacific Highway will be temporarily closed.
