Harrington

Harrington follows the Manning River with a long breakwater which provides great fishing, and the relaxed seaside lifestyle is a welcome escape from the frantic pace of urban life. 

The northern arm of the Manning River reaches the ocean at Harrington and the expansive views from Pilot Hill Lookout are breathtaking. The graves atop this hill attest to the pilots whose job it was to guide the boats over the bar.

Nearby Crowdy Head is certainly the jewel in the Manning Valley Crown. Crowdy Head is a quaint fishing village located just 7km from Harrington. 

The lighthouse perched high on the headland provides exceptional views and is easily accessible on a sealed road. The seafood co-op at Crowdy Head is a seafood lover's delight with the fresh catch of the day a tempting treat. 
Crowdy Beach sweeps in a long arc through to Kylie's Beach in the National Park. Accommodation at Harrington and Crowdy Head includes motels, units, caravan parks and holiday cottages.
