About Ballina
At the mouth of the Richmond River, among white, sandy beaches and shimmering rivers, lakes and waterways, the island town of Ballina is the commercial and cultural heart of the Shire.
It's a unique blend of tranquil country hideaway and vibrant seaside resort, where holiday-makers of all ages and from all walks of life are welcomed by an equally diverse local community.
The streets of downtown Ballina are lined with stylish cafes and restaurants, classic country pubs and modern clubs that offer first class dining and entertainment. There are pools, parks and entertainment centres offering loads of fun for the kids, and you can visit museums, galleries, expos and festivals bursting with the vibrant works of local craftspeople. There are antique and curio shops and, for the dedicated shopaholic, a mind-boggling choice of boutiques and designer stores.
The coastline is a beach lovers dream with sheltered coves, vast ocean beaches and some of the world's finest surf breaks. The beach fishing is legendary and if you wet a line from the North or South Wall, you'll be in for a reel treat!!
