This is basically a surfer's beach, and since it is quite a distance from the main beach, and thus…read morethe flags, then it is probably not one of those beaches that it is good to swim at, unless of course, you like to live dangerously. I would suggest that this is a quiet beach, then again, considering that it happens to be in the middle of a national park, then that goes without saying. However, considering that it does tend to be popular with surfers, I probably wouldn't designate this as a place to go for a swim.

Amazing beach situated towards the end of the pathway…read more I took a stroll along the lighthouse trail the previous day to stake out which beach I liked best for the following day. Wategos won hands down. The others were too busy. I happened to get lucky and my beach day was the first day of sun & warmth after weeks of rain. Due to this, the beach was quite crowded. Wategos provided ample sand to find a spot so that was a plus. Truth be told, any of the beaches along the path are gorgeous but for something a little more low key, I recommend Wategos or little Wategos.

Beautiful beach along the path to the lighthouse. You can't…read morego wrong with any of the beaches really so I would say it's more about privacy and preference. Some beaches get more crowded than others so I would recommend taking a walk along the bridge and pathway first to see which one you like best. The path is close to Rae's & there is also a little beach hut/restaurant called the Pass cafe that is open during the afternoon so this is a nice beach to be able to grab food nearby when you get hungry. I miss Byron often..I hope I get to go back soon!

A large sandy shoreline and a footpath lining the length of it. Close to ample eateries, shopping and accommodation. A beautiful tourist destination. I am somewhat biased though.

There is sort of something about the beach down at Byron Bay that seems to attract anybody and…read moreeverybody. Well, not quite because there is a sort of person that seems to like this particular beach, and they are probably the young, or the young at heart. As for me, well, I wouldn't necessarily consider it to me one of those beaches that really grabs my attention. I was okay, but then again I'm not really a beachy sort of person.

Byron Bay . . . how long have you got?…read more Depending on who you ask, Byron is either Heaven, or Heaven. Everyone loves it sick, bro, in fact there's very little not to like. The backpackers? The prices? Yes, and sure, but compared to avalanche of good things about this place, these pale into insignificance. Now, I'm a beach-goer of some 30-odd years experience, and this might very well be the most epic and welcoming beach in Australia. Split by a rock wall there's one huge flat swimmers paradise to the right, and to the left a shipwreck and a surfing Valhalla. Don't even get me started on Wategos. Sit on the grassy hill and watch the giant martian moon come up after sunset and hang over the beach like a glowing spaceship. Sip wine. Strum a guitar. Smoke bongs. Whatever your pleasure, it's pretty much game on at Byron. Love. Love love love. In the words of an American colleague in her truly awful Australian accent: "Bist ivva!"

There is the large concrete bottom pool that draws quite the crowd in hot weather, as does the neighboring beach (sand bottom) pool There is also a small kids pool and kids water playground. It's FREE! There are public restrooms steps away that give you a free space to change, plus lockers available for rent. It is easy to spend an entire day here, enjoying the public amenities and pool while having quick access to restrooms, lunch spots, and ice cream trucks. Overall I give Streets Beach Five Stars out of Five. It's a MUST VISIT.

When people come to visit Brisbane and ask me "what is there to do here?" sometimes I get stumped…read more I mean, I'm a local and I've got my places to go, but where are the really pop out kind of spots that are worth noting to a tourist? In recent months I've been building a list of "tacky, weird stuff to do" in Brisbane list. Streets Beach is right at the top of this list. A man made beach, complete with sand, life guards and umbrellas- right in the middle of the city! I used to think this beach was horribly tacky and I used to avoid it like the plague. It was always full of little kids who you could trust to pee in the water, or young buff couples getting sexy in the deeper waters. Am I selling this yet? In recent years however, I don't avoid it so much. I've grown fond of strolling down to the beach of a night time for a dip. You can float on your back and gaze out at the skyline, and watch the lights reflect off the water of the river below. It's actually really pretty. Just maybe take care to not put your head under water. You never know what's beneath the surface. Take this as you will. It's open until 10pm of a night time.

Okay, you will encounter a plethora of surfing instructors, but honestly, should anybody actually be surprised, considering that this does happen to be Byron Bay. Anyway, as a park, well, it's really only all that good to walk past, though it doesn't tend to be anywhere near as crowded as the foreshore.
