On Tuesday students had a reprieve from the crowded Byron Bay beach scene and spent their afternoon at Broken Head’s hidden gem Whites Beach.
Students setting up for the afternoon at Whites Beach
Whites Beach is a 10-minute drive from Byron Bay, located in Broken Head. Broken Head is where Chris Hemsworth recently built his mega mansion.
It was a short walk from the carpark to the white sand and crisp, clear water.
Whites beach is surrounded by cliffs and students could explore the caves and rock pools.
The water was cool but quickly become more bearable and enjoyable
Shortly after arriving the other beachgoers left and our students had the entire beach to themselves.
Rueben from the Byron Bay Travel Company led the activity and provided our students with light snacks and drinks.
