I can highly recommend this trip as it has absolutely gorgeous views and lovely secluded beaches, especially White’s Beach where there is a cave. There is some rock hopping to make it interesting.  The rock hopping requires care as we need sturdy shoes and I also suggest garden gloves as the rocks have knarly edges. In total the rock hopping is only about 30 minutes. Of note I have shortened the walk to save travel time and we are not bothering to do the walk all the way down to Lennox Head as it is a bit long. The best part is around Broken Head and getting to White’s Beach. Also by only going to White’s Beach it saves about 1 hour in driving time and about 1 hour in bus transit time.
 
Leaving Red Hill at 7.00 am it is a 2 hour and 2 minute drive – distance 177 km.  I plan on having a morning tea stop at the Chinderah Service Centre. So I expect to start walking just before 10 ish to allow the tide to drop before we go around the rocks. The plan is to drive down to Suffolk Park (just south of Byron Bay) and park at the end of Clifford Street and start the walk there and then walk south to Broken Head (1.5 km), then do track walk around Broken Head (800 m), then a rock hopping section for 300 m, to Kings Beach (about 300 m long), then rock hopping between beaches (600 m) to Brays Beach (about 400 m long), then up the stairs to road, then a track to the headland (300 m), then down ridge - 100 m to White’s Beach. Then return via the road or the coast. Total Distance about 13 Km
 
Come along on a lovely trip with magnificent views, lots of beach walking and bush walking. The Club has only this walk once before back in 2015. As a side note a photo of White’s Beach was selected as the winner of the photo comp for the 2015 year. I hope you can join us as it could be years and years before we do this trip again as it is a long way from Brisbane. It is a long way there but better to do it now while you can. For those interested there will be time for a quick swim at White’s beach during our lunch break.
