Walk along Yamba's Pippi Beach, northern NSW, at low tide and you're still likely to see the odd shellfish of the same name, but not nearly as many as there were before sand mining and overharvesting in the mid-1900s. The Pippis may have thinned out, but the beach that bears the name remains a Yamba institution, for this is the beach to turn to when the warmer months spring up. Pippi Beach lies on the southern exposed side of Yamba's beachfront. As a result, it cops the brunt of any southern swells marching up the coast and can be unpredictable, with strong currents and shifting conditions. The northern end of the beach is patrolled during summer holidays. It's advised to swim between the flags where lifeguards are on watch. Pippi Beach features picnic tables, parking and toilet facilities. Southern Pippi Beach – down towards Flat Rock is a leash free-area for dogs, and is a beloved morning walk routine for Yamba residents of the two-and four-legged variety.

Historical Sites and Heritage Locations
The Pise House (Mud Hut) was built in 1896 by Mary Brodie who came to the district in the mid-1880s with her husband. After he died suddenly, she purchased the Royal Hotel and by 1890, she was effectively running the town of Bedourie, listed as the local butcher, postmistress, storekeeper, wine and spirit merchant and licensee of the Royal Hotel. Mary soon remarried and when her second husband died from Bright's Disease, she inherited enough money to build the Pise House (Mud Hut). This house was built of rammed earth and mud collected from Eyre Creek. The only other buildings from that time still standing are the Royal Hotel, across the road, and the Indigenous Trackers Hut, which now stands behind. It is a rare surviving example in the region of this type of construction. At the end of the 1800s, Pise House (Mud Hut) passed into the possession of Sir Sidney Kidman - the Cattle King. Pise House (Mud Hut) was purchased by Diamantina Shire Council in 2001 from Jean Smith and has since been fully restored with most of the original timber replaced.
