    This lake is great to kick back and relax. Warm water in the summer and pleasantly cool in the winter. Great spot to have a BBQ or picnic with family and friends.

    Despite the odd speeding bike this is a fabulous walk with great views of the coast. Benches are located along the route for admiring the ocean and beaches. The final climb up stairs to the lookout is a bit daunting and certainly not for the mobility challenged but the rest of the walk is well graded and there is the coffee or breakfast back on town to energise you. Highly recommended.

    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.

    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

    I had back and neck spasms after a week of surfing in Lennox Head. Tanka gave me an excellent massage and can honestly say this is the best I have felt all week. I highly recommend this place.

    Look no further if you are in need for a relaxing massage. Milinda has a friendly and calming personality will make you forget the buzz of your day to day life.
    I booked a one hour massage and enjoyed every minute of it.
