Practical details
Why it's worth checking out
Lennox Head Beach sits on Pacific Parade at Lennox Head, on the Northern Rivers coast near Byron Bay. A much-loved beach, it's a gorgeous, relaxed stretch of golden sand and clear water — combining lovely surf and swimming with a beautiful natural setting and the easygoing, laid-back charm that makes the Lennox Head coast so popular, the kind of stunning beach that's a genuine drawcard.
The appeal is that combination of a beautiful beach and a lovely all-round seaside spot: the sand and surf for swimming and relaxing (Lennox is also renowned among surfers), the scenic coastal surrounds and the relaxed village just behind, all making it a wonderful spot for a swim, a surf, a beach day or some time by the sea. Its gorgeous, natural setting captures the best of the Northern Rivers coast.
With a 4.8 rating from nearly 200 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved beach. It's free and open year-round, but swimming conditions, surf, currents, parking and facilities vary, so it's worth checking conditions before you go, taking sun protection, and swimming between the flags when the beach is patrolled — while enjoying the beautiful sand and water at Lennox Head.
