The Pass is famous for it’s right-hand point breaks when the swell is good. At other times it is a good spot for all levels of surfers including beginners. Keep in mind that it is a popular surf beach and can be very busy.

The Wreck

Get yourself a mask and snorkel and explore the famous Byron Bay shipwreck!

Located just North of the seawall and Main Beach car park at the end of Jonson Street, the Wreck is more of a surf break than a beach. The break is named after the protruding shipwreck of the SS Wollongbar, which creates a series of sand bars that result in good swell ideal for surfing. The area is not only popular with surfers, but also for those interested in exploring the Wreck with a mask and snorkel.
