Very popular with surfers, beach-goers and holidaymakers in general, this once-quiet seaside village of Lennox Head has now transformed into a holiday resort town. With mesmerizing coastal scenery of the Northern Rivers region in New South Wales, Australia, Lennox Head is a picturesque expanse of coast between Byron Bay and Ballina. Most noted for ‘the magical right-hand break’ that occurs at Lennox Point on the beach, this village is a paradise for surfers. Vacationers can also try their hand at hang-gliding or paragliding for a splendid aerial view of the bay area. Dolphin or whale watching is also quite a popular activity in Lennox Head. At the gorgeous tannin-stained waters of Lake Ainsworth, swimming, canoeing and kayaking are must-do activities. If adventure sports are not your cup of tea, then just take a stroll down the beautiful Seven Mile beach.
