Turner’s Beach: Byron Bay’s wee cousin

If Noosa and Byron Bay had a more relaxed, pint-sized cousin, it would be Turner’s Beach. In this episode, we’re heading to this underrated north-facing beach break at the base of Yamba’s lighthouse headland — where the Clarence River meets the Pacific. Expect soft, forgiving waves, warm water, and a mellow vibe that’s perfect for beginner surfers and longboarders. We’ll cover when to go, what to watch out for, where to rent a board, and how to fill your days when you’re not surfing. Think beach walks, ocean pools, coffee spots, and epic sunsets — all without the crowds or hype.
