- Byron Bay is to the north of Lennox, and is a much more tourist oriented town. Bohemian and laid back, it is easy to see why this charming town is so popular amongst visitors.

- Shaws Bay is an inlet near the mouth of the Richmond River. Its a popular spot for swimming, and there are a couple of caravan parks where you can stay near this picturesque bay.
- A salty tidal lake with marshy edges, Lake Chickiba is a favourite spot for bird watchers. Migratory waders congregate at this lake at high tide, and bush birds live in the surrounding forests.
