    The beautiful Lennox Head Beach , is a part of the long , sandy Seven Mile Beach

    All a long this extended New South Wales coastal beach , is good for surfing

    It’s a good walk following the beach

    You get panoramic views of Lennox Head Beach / Seven Mile Beach from Lennox Point Headland , at Pat Morton Lookout

    Lovely look out spot for viewing lots of whales in the bay. You have to pay to park & it’s worth parking a bit further down than at the lighthouse as it was very busy and no where to turn, so worth walking for a few minutes to the lighthouse viewpoint. Take your binoculars as it’s likely you will see whales if it’s the right time of year.

    To often when I’ve visited Lake Ainsworth in Lennox Head .. this large freshwater lagoon is closed , due to Blue Green Algae

    Even when Lake Ainsworth is open .. the colour of the water is affected by tea trees which grow on the waters edge , by dripping tea tree oils in the lagoon

    By reasons of the tea tree oils .. some people believe Lake Ainsworth has therapeutic properties

    Lennox Head township end of Lake Ainsworth .. there are barbecue & picnicking facilities

    The nearby limited spaces carpark is usually very busy , as Seven Mile Beach is also in short walking distance to the lagoon & carpark

    Great spot connecting Lennox town to Pat Morton's Lookout, through rainforest. If the surf is good, check out the surfers at the point!

    Over the years, while our kids were small, especially, this has been a wondrous place for them to play and for adults to commune together and relax. Being locals, we've been here hundreds of times over past couple of decades. Always a good place to hang.

    The Boat Channel is not only a formed waterway, giving boats access to local fishing grounds, but also makes a semi protected swimming pool at low tides. While not as safe as the patrolled beach at the surf club, this is as good or better when the surf club or paid lifeguards do not have patrols on duty (basically, weekdays out of school holidays and weekends in the cooler months).

    The beach at the Boat Channel is quiet and uncrowded. Without kids it's a great place to lie down on a towel and read a book, and otherwise just unwind and be with nature. There are often dolphins out there, and we have sometimes seen stingrays flipping over the waves offshore. Of course, whales can also be seen in season, although easier to spot from higher ground, like from the lookout above the Point.

    When the conditions are right, this can also be a nice place to surf. The reef helps to build wave height. We've had many enjoyable times with mates and kids surfing this break. Just watch out for low tide. Several fin repairs remind me to be careful paddling, or surfing back in at the end of a session.

    A short walk takes you to many rock pools (at low tide) which are great for the kids to explore. And naturally, any beach is a sand castle in the making.

    Take the time to enjoy this spot - drive down Rutherford Street and climb the small sand ridge to the beach. It's well hidden, but worth a visit.

    I wonder if Seven Miles Beach is actually seven miles .. smile

    Along Seven Mile Beach , there are plenty of open beach for surfing .. & public park land - which is good for picnicking & walks

    Generally only a small section of the beach is patrolled by the volunteers of Lennox Head-Alstonville Surf Life Saving Club .. this area between the flags is the seaside of Lake Ainsworth

    A section of Seven Mile Beach is Lennox Head Beach
