4.6/5
(520 reviews)
The Bruns, as locals call it, runs at a different pace to Byron proper. Main Beach sits at the mouth of the Brunswick River, which means you get a choice most beaches don't offer: ocean surf on one side, calm river swimming on the other. The waves here are generally gentler than those at The Pass or Wategos, which makes it a reliable option for families and less confident swimmers. The beach itself is wide and unhurried, backed by low dunes rather than cafes and car parks. Dolphins work the river mouth regularly, especially in the early morning. No entry fee, no crowds jostling for a patch of sand. Bring your own everything. The nearest coffee is a short walk into town, which is reason enough to linger there too.

What People Say
John Faust8 months ago
Nice local beach. Not much shopping although there were quite a few resale shops if you're interested in those type of things. Not many touristy shops
Susan Lengyel7 months ago
A dramatic and expansive white sand beach with few people throughout the week. It will take you a few hours to walk to Byron Bay and you will have to time low tide to traverse the estuary mouth. Don’t forget a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen!

Morning kayak tours launching from Clarkes Beach, with the Cape Byron headland as your landmark and dolphins as a genuine possibility. Accessible to beginners, priced in the middle of the Byron activities market. The lighthouse circuit is the one to book.
Byron Bay Ballooning
Byron Bay
Dawn flights over the Tweed Valley hinterland, with the Byron lighthouse visible on a clear morning and macadamia farms rolling out below. A champagne breakfast follows landing. The 5am pickup is non-negotiable, but the light at that hour is the whole point.
