Ballina is a great spot to get away from the usual backpacker scene, although it does have a reputation, as more of a family orientated area.
With horseback riding at the southern end of the beach and great on shore fishing, it is an extremely relaxing area. You can also choose to test your surfing skills, at the famous Lenox Heads, or on one of the many other great surf spots. If you are a surfer and were thinking of heading to the Tweed Heads or Coolangatta region to surf Snapper Rocks and Kirra, it may be worth diverting away from the crowds and heading down Ballina way. With Byron Bay neighbouring the area, there are plenty to do and see.
