Norah Head Beach
Soldiers Beach, on the south side of the head, faces southeast and, with a well protected north end, is a favourite with board-riders when the summer northeaster is up. Sweetly-curved one kilometre in length, the beach features clusters of rocks that build nice sand-covered reefs but demand due care when falling off your board.
There are reliable waves year-round, best when the swell comes in from the south or east. The left-hand point-break is beloved of long-boarders, although as soon as it gets over two metres the short-boarders take an interest in it too.
The beach break can be world-class on its day, notably a spot down the south end called Sunset which can generate big rights and lefts with a heavy hold-down section. Off Norah Head at the north end is a series of left and right-hand reef breaks that work on different waves and tides, though they’re for experienced surfers only. When the swell drops away these reefs are great for snorkelling, and the rock pool on the north side of the headland is perfect for a lazy swim and ideal for families.
