At the mouth of the Richmond River is the fishing and resort town of Ballina
which has a fishing fleet of over 100 boats.This town is surrounded by beautiful
beaches.The coastline heading up to Lennox Heads has some of the best surfing
beaches in NSW.
The river entrance is a pleasant setting for this resort/port. Headstones of pioneers are preserved in a Memorial Wall in an old cemetery.
| There are a couple of macadamia parks which not only offer nuts but entertainment and wildlife displays, paragliding adventures and a tea tree oil plantation to tour. Vantage points on Lighthouse Hill and Shelley Beach offer magnificent views which often include playful dolphins and migrating humpback whales. |
The Ballina holiday experience embraces stunning beaches that are targeted by surfers, swimmers, windsurfers, anglers and kayakers. It is only a 10 minute drive to the laid-back coastal town of Lennox Head and its Seven Mile Beach, and 25 minutes to Byron Bay
