Lennox Head
A surfing town about 20 km south of Byron Bay, where the Lennox Point headland lookout overlooks Seven Mile Beach.
Lennox Head is famous for the long right-hand waves at Lennox Point, one of the designated national surfing reserves. The Pat Morton Lookout on the headland offers wide views. In winter and spring you can spot whales, and hang gliders launch from the cliff tops. To the north lie Seven Mile Beach and Cape Byron. The town has seaside cafés and a community market held on the second and fifth Sundays of each month. Lake Ainsworth, the tea-tree lake, is right next door. The drive takes about 25 minutes. The surf breaks over many rocks, so beginners should stay out of the water.
