Sawtell is a coastal town in nothern New South Wales, Australia, named after Mr. 0. C. Sawtell. Located approximately 8km south of Coffs Harbour and 546km north of Sydney it has become increasingly popular amongst holiday goers due to its small population, many restaurants and proximity to beaches. The main street of Sawtell has become increasingly well known for its strip of increasingly upper-class restaurants, including the Blue Fig and Cafe Al Dente, and its heritage listed cinema [1]

The town is located close to Toormina and Boambee , two areas of similar population a few kilometres west inland.
