This is the first beach we went to since we came here in AU. We arrived at 5am, sunrise was not visible in the viewing deck which was a bummer but the over all view was relaxing and made me appreciate nature. The tides where high around this hour but by 10am the shoreline became wider making more room space for the sun bathers. The water was lovely, clear and calming. My toddler was able to play safely because the shallow water spread was quite huge and it seems safe for young ones. There is a bbq space on top of the beach, near the loos. If you want to secure a parking space better arrive around 5am, as it gets crowded pretty quickly. It was a 2 hour drive from Wynnum area, which we would gladly make again in the future. We love the place and social media doesn't do justice on the place.

Beautiful landscape with sweeping views of the Northern Rivers caldera, that play into a thousand views in different weather, light, and time of day. The surf can get a rolling sweep across the bay for a long ride or come in pretty scalloped waves perfect for beginners. A day on a long board or a sunset surf session will give you special photos and memories. A lookout provides great views and The Pass Cafe is open for breakfast in season. Full amenities here plus limited National Park parking - but a turning circle zone will help you drop off and pick up. Picture postcard Byron magic.

Great little beach tucked away from the crowds. There's a bit of a wading area as you walk into the water, with the waves breaking quite a way off shore. Good spot for the family or surfing. Just watch out for the ants under the trees and the bush turkeys getting into your bag as you swim!

Beautiful spot to swim especially if you have younger children. Lots of opportunity to use a boogie board or surfboard. Nicely protected area so the water tends to be calmer. Parking is $4 per hour but if you’re patient (10 mins waiting) you will eventually get a spot.

Quiet beach compared with main beach Byron Bay. BBQ areas & tables near beach and at the grass area next to car park. Speaking of car parks, you may have to wait for a spot and it is a paid parking area. Amazing view from Fisherman's lookout.
