Lennox Head is a laid back seaside village in the Northern Rivers area of New South Wales. Fifteen minutes drive south of world renowned Byron Bay,  only an hour from the famous Gold Coast and ten minutes north of our own Ballina/Byron Airport.  Lennox Head is so easy to get to ....but very hard to leave!

The pace of Lennox Head is relaxed and slow.  No traffic snarls here.  It is the perfect spot to relax and unwind, to laze on the beach or on the balcony.

Perhaps one of the town's greatest assets is Seven Mile Beach, a beautiful pristine line of white sand, along a stretch of water that is renowned internationally for great waves and good fishing.

Local attractions and nearby activities.

The main street of Lennox Head is lined with a host of great shops and some of the finest (award winning) restaurants around.  Late night footpath dining is a popular pastime amongst residents and visitors, as are long lunches and leisurely coffee breaks.

Lennox Head and its surrounds offers a variety of sport and leisure activities, and natural wonders to help create the perfect holiday.

At the southern end of the beach is the Lennox Headland, a magnificent backdrop to a picture postcard setting and a popular destination for hang gliders.

Lennox Head Weather

Almost every day from October to May offers pleasant beach weather, but the very best months for the beach are from December to April. 

Lennox Head Beach and Surfing Guide

The surf in Lennox is excellent but if you're looking for a protected, waveless swimming area then you will have to head south to Ballina where there are some calm and protected beaches.  There are some excellent surf schools here that offer lessons from beginner to experienced.

Seven Mile Beach

This is a long unprotected beach with a small seasonally patrolled area out the front of the Surf Life Saving Club.  Rips are common right along the beach.  In ideal conditions with a light westerly there is a good beach break of around 2.5 metres.

Lennox Point

Lennox Point is the classic point setup, home to one of Australia's biggest and longest warm water surf breaks.  The point works best with a south westerly blowing and a swell ripping round the point from the south-south east.  The long, peeling right hand break seems to go on forever and waves sometimes exceed 4 metres when conditions are good.

Boulders and Flat Rock Beaches

Boulders works in similar swell and wind to Lennox Point with waves getting up there in ideal conditions.  Flat Rock is just a bit further south of Boulders and it tends to work better with an east-south east swell and winds from further round to the west.

Lake Ainsworth

Lake Ainsworth is a ti-tree (tea tree) lake situated 50 metres behind the dunes at the southern end of Seven Mile Beach.  The calm waters of the lake are popular swimming and picnic spot for young families.

Ballina

Ballina is just 10 minutes drive south of Lennox Head and it has some excellent safe swimming areas.  At Ballina you will find calm swimming areas more suitable for young children such as the Shelly Beach tidal pool, the Missingham Beach area, Shawes Bay or you can get the Burns Point Ferry across to Mobbs Bay on South Ballina Beach Road.
