Lennox Head is a Northern Rivers coastal village where a headland, long beach and Lake Ainsworth create an easy rhythm for a day outdoors. Start with the official destination guide (opens in a new tab) for current local information before choosing a beach or walk.
The Lennox Head Beach page (opens in a new tab) outlines the coast and National Surfing Reserve. The point break is for experienced surfers, so choose conditions and water activities carefully.
For a longer stretch of sand, Seven Mile Beach (opens in a new tab) runs north from the headland. Any vehicle access, surf and water conditions should be checked locally on the day.
The walk to Pat Morton Lookout (opens in a new tab) follows the coastline from the village towards views over the beach and Pacific. Carry water, allow for weather and take care near the headland.
Lake Ainsworth and Lennox Headland have cultural significance noted in the Ballina Shire planning study (opens in a new tab). Treat these places with respect, stay on marked paths and follow local signage.
