Lennox Head suburb profile

Lennox Head is a laid-back coastal village on the New South Wales north coast, centred on a dramatic headland at the mouth of the Richmond River. It is known for Lennox Point, a long right-hand surf break, and for a broad sweep of sand that attracts swimmers, walkers and beachside picnics. The village core offers a compact strip of cafes and surf shops, while residential streets mix timber beach cottages, contemporary beach houses and low-rise apartments. Daily life revolves around surf culture, headland walks and nearby Lake Ainsworth, with Ballina, the Pacific Highway and the regional airport within easy reach.
