Convent Beach

Convent Beach, Yamba, New South Wales, 2464

If you like your beaches quiet, and unassuming with a vague hint of devotional history, then Convent Beach is the place for you.

Originally named McKittrick’s Beach, (after a pioneering businessman) it’s been renamed to recognise the convent that overlooked it from 1900 to 1910. And such a beach deserves an appropriately peaceful name.
Tucked into Yamba’s main bay, Convent Beach is a small, narrow affair, with vegetation providing shade, and separation from the houses that line the bluff above.

Access is from the backing road with street parking and a track from the southern end of the beach.
For its sheltered position, and though it doesn’t cop much surf (except for swells out of the north east), swimming at Convent Beach isn’t as simple as you’d think. There are a fair few rocks and boulders scattered around the place, so an appropriate degree of caution is advised.
