Best Beach in Pottsville

"Wategos beach is a peaceful sheltered beach that is a perfect place to sunbathe, enjoy a picnic, and also surf!. I think it’s one of Byron Bay’s best beaches, the westerly position, and abundance of greenery makes it a great place to shoot golden hour at sunset."

"Wategos Beach is a small protected beach in cove along the Cape Byron Headland. It’s water is blue,c and usually calm with smaller waves great for swimming, kayaking or SUP. This beach is not patrolled."

"Often overlooked by tourists, Belongil Beach is a 2.5km stretch of sand between the mouth of Belongil Creek in the west and the seawall and Byron Bay car park further east. It’s a much quieter alternative to Byron Bay’s Main Beach (see below), which makes Belongil Beach suitable for families, and also dog owners. In 1921, a 2K ton passenger steamship named Wollongbar stranded in the surf right in front of Belongil Beach."

"Situated just to the west of the town's centre, Belongil Beach is an attractive combination of white sand and sparkling blue water that offers plenty of space for swimming, sunbathing and beachcombing. Beachfront properties, including many holiday rentals, are situated moments away from the water."

"Northwest of the town centre, wild Belongil Beach has high dunes and avoids the worst of the crowds. It's clothing-optional in parts. At its eastern end is the Wreck, a powerful right-hand surf break."

"Further around the bay towards the east, Byron Bay’s Main Beach flows into Clarkes Beach, a quiet north-facing strip of sand with beachfront parking, great facilities and a large caravan park. Clarkes Beach is great for swimming as the waves are relatively small, but big enough to make them suitable for learn-to-surf programs that are often organised there. It’s also a popular snorkeling spot, with some rocky areas close to the shore to discover."

"Clarke’s Beach is one of Byron’s beaches and this one is has rock and tidal pools to explore and is good for snorkelling along the rocks close to shore. This is an unpatrolled beach. This is one spot along the walking track that you may like to stop, have a swim or a snorkel before continuing to the next spot on the track."

"Acting as the initial symbol many international and interstate visitors will have upon arriving at the Gold Coast by plane, Coolangatta is the area where the main stretch of continuous beach that reaches up to Main Beach in the north begins. Its two main beaches - Greenmount Beach and Rainbow Bay - are the Gold Coast's only north-facing beaches which helps to provide excellent, sheltered conditions that are ideal for swimming. A stroll around the point to nearby Snapper Rocks can also give you an increased chance of seeing whales passing on their annual migration throughout the year's cooler months."

"Near the New South Wales state border, Coolangatta Beach provides a much more peaceful alternative to the tourist-packed Surfer's Paradise beaches a 30-minute drive north. Spending a day on the soft sun-soaked sands here is one of the best things to do on the Gold Coast for free. If you look at a Gold Coast tourist map, you'll see that this stretch of coast faces north, which means the water is typically calmer with great conditions for swimming."

"A beautiful clean white sand beach away from the madness of the main Gold Coast strip, come here to relax and get away from it all. This beach is not crowded, the waves are less fierce, and with lifeguards present this beach is ideal for families. Coolangatta Beach Gold Coast Australia"

"Currumbin's beaches form a lovely balance between a family destination - with sheltered off, shark-netted swimming areas and nearby parks ideal for barbecues - with a great spot for surfers and other watersports enthusiasts offered by Currumbin Alley. Affectionately dubbed simply "The Alley", it is a surf break that can often be crowded due to it being surfable in almost any conditions - long-boarders will delight in the smaller days, while other surfers will be able to take advantage of some great right-hand waves available towards the point. Relatively fast, long waves can be caught when the swell is up that are perfect for lots of turns while also being relatively forgiving."

"Currumbin is a beautiful beach that has a distinct aura from the other beaches in Gold coast. The majestic waterway of the Currumbin Creek is linked to pristine, beautiful rainforest mountains of Queensland in the west. With a fabulous right-hand surf break for the longboard surf riders, this beach is a real paradise for the adventure lovers."

With sweeping views over the coastline, this is a fantastic local beach off the tourist trail with spectacular views and less crowds.

"Kirra Point's small rocky headland serves to separate Kirra Beach on the North from the main Coolangatta beach to the south, and is often regarded as one of the world's premier surf breaks, with multiple surfing competitions - both professional and amateur - held here throughout the year. With some of the best and most diverse surfing conditions along the Gold Coast, smaller surf can be found closer to the shore that is ideal for both swimming and beginning board riders, while outside the flags there are more challenging surf breaks further out that can sometimes become crowded due to their popularity with surfers. Another reason to visit Kirra Beach is not only the beach itself, but also the range of beautiful Gold Coast scenery that it has to offer with scenic footpaths, headland, golden sand and greenery all combining to make it a picturesque locale."

"This small rocky headland among the Gold coast beaches is one of the world’s premier surf breaks. Owing to its boomerang shaped structure, it is believed that Kirra beach was named after a boomerang by the Aboriginal people of Queensland. With high cascading waves and the breaks, this beach has the perfect natural conditions for surfing on the water."
