πŸ‘πŸ‘ A great spot to view Shelley Beach & Lighthouse Beach. We walked there from the North Wall, but you can drive. The surf below is breathtaking as it pounds onto the white sand. Whales can be spotted & there is also a small lighthouse

Holiday park
πŸ‘ Perfect location! Right next to the water, which makes it super ideal. Some cabins may not get the best view of the water although still worth it, stayed here for over two nights and was very enjoyable. Interior of the cabin was nice although a little small that’s okay as we stayed in a smaller one...

Shelly Beach Cafe Ballina
Cafe
😐 I hate to do bad reviews as I really hoped this place would be something special, but unfortunately poor staff communication left me without lunch after the rest of my table had eaten. I did ask more than once and was assured it was on its way but after 40 mins I was only offered to have some one st...

πŸ‘πŸ‘ I have so much appreciation and love for discovery parks. I have had my best stay experience and felt like I was treated with so much care by their team and Kristine. I booked a cabin for my friends and I to go to splendour in the grass and I truly feel if I wasn’t at discovery parks I would’ve had...

Ballina Golf and Sports Club
Golf club
πŸ‘πŸ‘ One of the best courses we have ever played. We played the first 9 and were very impressed by the quality of the course. The tee box, the fairways and the greens were immaculate. The course is well endowed with trees providing both shade and a challenge. The first nine provide plenty of long, fairly...

Flat Rock Tent Park
Campground
🫀 I would love to have given this Campsite a 5/5. Important to mention that we stayed here out of season, so it was peaceful, lots of open spaces and perfectly positioned to an expansive Beach, literally 1 minutes walk. The beach has no lifeguard patrol areas so you need to be cautious when swimming....

Pub
πŸ‘πŸ‘ With an outlook like this and great pub food at reasonable rates how can it not be 5 star. The works burgers are just that. Huge and a good serving of crispy chips to accompany. The seafood platter is more than just your normal frozen fare with grilled local king prawns, squid and calamari, a couple...
