Urunga is a small town on in the Mid North Coast region of New South Wales, Australia, in Bellingen Shire. Urunga is famous for its surf spots (reefs, beaches and mouth of two rivers). At the 2011 census, Urunga had a population of 3,020. The town is south of Coffs Harbour and Sawtell and north of Nambucca Heads. The place name, Urunga (pronounced Oo-run- ga), is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning "long white sands". There are two main streets in Urunga, and both a bowling club and a golf club. A weekly 6-a- side soccer competition is held on Thursdays at the Oval. Urunga is a fishing ground, with bream being the main sport fish. The Urunga boardwalk, leading over the tidal Urunga Lagoon then out to the beach, was rebuilt in 1988 and extended in 1991. The full boardwalk was completed in 2007. In November 2010, a further section of boardwalk was completed. This extension finishes at the mouth of the river and has taken the length of the boardwalk to almost 1 kilometre. Hungry Head, 4 km to the south is the only patrolled beach in Urunga.Points of Interest
