About this place
What to expect
Whether your little one is dipping their toes in for the first time or you're a seasoned surfer chasing the perfect wave, Ballina’s breathtaking 32km coastline has something for everyone. Swim in calm, sandy inlets along the Richmond River, ride the rolling swells at one of Ballina’s many stunning beaches, or take on world-class waves at Lennox Point’s legendary right-hand break. North Wall often delivers perfect barrels, while gentle waves make other spots ideal for body bashing and boogie boarding. Looking for adventure? Drive onto designated beaches with a 4WD or explore dog-friendly and horse-friendly stretches of sand. For a truly unforgettable experience, book a guided horse ride along one of the region’s secluded beaches, north or south of Ballina. With golden sands, pristine waters, and endless opportunities for fun, Ballina’s beaches are the kind you see on postcards—only better, because here, you can experience them for yourself!
