Overview

Belongil Beach is a kitesurfing spot located just north of Byron Bay in New South Wales. This beach, less crowded than the main Byron Bay beach, offers oceanic conditions with waves in a subtropical setting.

Northeast winds dominate in summer. The spot is suitable for intermediates. Belongil is quieter than Byron's main beach and allows riding with more space. Byron Bay and its nightlife are just minutes away.
