Lighthouse Beach (Ballina)
- Surf spot
Lighthouse Beach (Ballina) is a sandy ocean beach in East Ballina, stretching between Ballina Headland and the Richmond River North Wall. It suits swimming, surfing and coastal walks, with tracks at either end offering views along the headland and breakwall. Entry is free, and the precinct includes parking, a cafe, picnic facilities, public toilets and showers, plus an accessible beach ramp. The northern end gains some shelter from northerly winds, but surf and current conditions can change, so visitors should assess the water before entering.
