Love this beach but would be careful swimming there if at all..

Not advisable for unaccompanied females. Protect your valuables from thieves. Vicious rips and collapsing sand bars. Suitable for board riders only. Locally known as dump beach; adjacent bushland was Yamba’s old tip site. Great for off leash dogs and away from crowds.
