Lennox Head
Lennox Head is a situated 17 km north of Ballina on the Coast Road. It lies at the southern end of Seven Mile Beach, on the north side of the Lennox Headland. Seven Mile Beach has borne the brunt of cyclonic winds; and heavy seas and storms have caused significant erosion along the beach’s shoreline over the years – up to 2 metres a year in some sections. The village of Lennox Head is 760 km north of Sydney, 200 km south of Brisbane and 5 km east of the Pacific Highway. Lennox is situated at just south of Australia’s most easterly point, Byron Bay.
