A stunning, sheltered crescent-shaped beach nestled below Cape Byron lighthouse. The right-hand point is a favourite for longboarders and intermediate surfers seeking long rides. Protected from southerly winds, Wategos delivers super fun waves for every length of board when a south to southeasterly swell wraps in. Small beach — arrive early to avoid crowds.
