Bonville is a coastal fishing destination on the New South Wales Coffs Coast, centered around a long, sweeping beach and its associated tidal creek system. The area is characterized by its 6.8-kilometer stretch of sand, bordered by the Bongil Bongil National Park, offering a mix of sheltered estuary fishing and expansive beachfront. The northern end of Bonville Beach is defined by the mouth of Bonville Creek, a saltwater estuary that provides calm, accessible water ideal for family fishing and small boats, set against a backdrop of rich birdlife and natural surroundings.
