Human remains were found at Jetty Beach in Coffs Harbour, NSW.

Human remains have been discovered at a popular beach on the NSW north coast.

A volunteer made the shocking discovery of the decomposed body at Jetty Beach in Coffs Harbour just after 10am Tuesday.

The volunteer was on the beach when they came across bones in the bunes about 10 metres away from a picnic spot.

NSW Police were quickly alerted after receiving reports of the human remains.

Once they arrived, officers attached to the Coffs-Clarence Police District located the remains and cordoned off the area.

Jetty Beach is a popular local area in Coffs Harbour.

It’s understood the remains may have been there for some time, due to the absence of flesh on them or clothing within the vicinity.

Strike Force Osbox has been established in order to “investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident”.

Police are urging anyone with information to contact the Coffs-Clarence Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
