Evans Head

Evans Head is a quiet Northern Rivers town that punches above its weight for surf quality. The beach and reef breaks around the headland pick up E-SE swell and deliver uncrowded waves that most surfers drive past on the way to Byron Bay or the Gold Coast. The main beach offers multiple peaks, while the rock platforms around the headland create defined reef breaks on bigger swells. With a population under 3,000 and limited tourist traffic, Evans Head is one of the best uncrowded surf zones on the NSW north coast.
