Why it's worth checking out
Shelter sits on Pacific Parade at Lennox Head, a relaxed coastal town between Byron Bay and Ballina in the Northern Rivers. A beachfront restaurant, it makes the most of its lovely position — combining quality food and drinks with a beautiful beachside outlook, the kind of relaxed yet stylish spot perfectly placed for a meal by the sea.
The appeal is that combination of accomplished food, a good drinks offering and a gorgeous beachfront setting at Lennox Head, ideal for a relaxed lunch, a special dinner or drinks watching the surf. Lennox's laid-back coastal charm pairs perfectly with a quality beachfront restaurant, and Shelter has clearly won over both locals and visitors.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 700 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular beachfront restaurant fills up over weekends and holidays — and the best views are sought-after — so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go, particularly if you're after a table near the beach or visiting the Lennox Head and Byron area in peak season.
