Upcoming Events in Ballina

South of the Richmond River is the tiny community of Patchs Beach, which is a dog friendly beach. There is excellent beach fishing in the right conditions. This is a great place to find a secluded part of the beach where you can often enjoy it all on your own. It's just a short trip from Ballina over the river on the Burns Point Ferry or alternatively you can drive to Patchs from Wardell.
