Beaches · Between Main and the Pass
Small, protected and good with children. The calmest swim close to town.
The beach
Clarkes sits in the curve between Main Beach and the Pass, with the Norfolk pines and the caravan park behind it. The headland takes the edge off most swells, so the water here is usually the flattest you will find within walking distance of town.
That makes it the one we send families to. It is patrolled in season, the walk in is short and level, and Beach Byron Bay sits directly behind the sand if you want lunch without moving the car.
Where it is
Five minutes east of the town centre along the foreshore path. No hill either way.
Lighthouse Road and the Clarkes Beach car park. Metered.
Summer and school holidays, at the eastern end.
Swim. The longboard wave is around at the Pass.
Toilets, showers and Beach Byron Bay behind the sand.
Dolphins come through close here most mornings.
Byron Bay
Several of the residences put you on the foreshore path with Clarkes at the end of it. Tell us who is coming and we will match the house to the beach.
