At a glance
Beach Byron Bay is a seasonal restaurant on the waterfront at Clarkes Beach, bringing together coastal scenery, local produce and a considered dining style. Located at 2 Massinger Street, the restaurant sits beside the beach and offers water views from every table, creating a setting suited to relaxed lunches, sunset drinks and dinner by the sea.
The menu changes with the seasons and centres on produce from the Northern Rivers, with a particular focus on fresh seafood and vibrant vegetables. Chef Barret Jones draws on international culinary experience while keeping the food connected to the region and its growers. The result is a menu that places freshness and flavour at the centre, with dishes shaped by what is available locally rather than a fixed year-round selection.
Seafood is a natural focus for the location, while the broader menu reflects the variety of seasonal ingredients sourced through the venue’s farm-to-table approach. The dining experience is paired with a curated wine list, with wine selections designed to complement the food and the coastal setting. Service is positioned as attentive and polished without taking away from the relaxed atmosphere of the beachfront location.
Beach Byron Bay suits long meals, special occasions, sunset drinks and visitors seeking a more considered restaurant experience near the sand. The venue also caters for group dining, events and weddings, with menus built around seasonal local produce. Its wedding offering makes use of ocean and hinterland views, while group set menus provide an option for shared occasions and organised gatherings.
For a coastal itinerary that includes both Byron Bay and the Whitsundays, Beach Byron Bay offers a distinctly Northern Rivers expression of seaside dining. The restaurant is complemented by the Beach Kiosk on the Clarkes Beach headland, where coffee and seasonal casual food suit breakfast, a light meal or a stop after a swim or coastal walk. Together, the restaurant and kiosk cover both relaxed beach visits and longer dining occasions, while keeping the focus on the landscape and the region’s produce.
