Ballina Area

Located at the mouth of the Richmond River on the New South Wales north coast, Ballina is a laid‑back town with beautiful beaches, good fishing and a thriving café culture. The river foreshore is perfect for cycling and watching dolphins, while the ocean beaches draw surfers and families. Nearby are the tea‑tree stained waters of Lake Ainsworth and the hinterland’s lush rainforest, offering easy day trips. Locals often head to Flat Rock for uncrowded waves and treasure a freshwater lake behind Angels Beach where paperbark trees dip their roots in clear water, a refreshing alternative to the salty sea.
