Yamba - Turners Beach

One of the four "town" beaches, Turners Beach (click on the link for the location map) is bordered on the north end by the Yamba break-wall on the mouth of the Clarence River and on the south end by an impressive sandstone cliff, above which is the bluff on which sits the lighthouse.

These photos were taken yesterday. All enlarge when clicked.

The size of the boulders in the breakwall is hard to gauge....don't scale them by the size of the gulls, because the wall is about 30 metres behind them!

The two shots below.....

The beach in the background is Whiting Beach.

It's on the river side of the breakwall, not on the coastal side, and is therefore popular with young families.

The second shot is on the beach or coastal side of the wall.

The structure on the bluff is the water reservoir.

In the lee of the breakwall at the northern end of Turners Beach.

The wall stretches out some 700 metres from this point.

Lastly, a couple of fisher-females trying their luck at the base of the wall on the riverside.

I have no idea whether they caught anything or not!
