MOUTH OF THE CLARENCE RIVER
RING OF BEACHES

We leave from Whiting beach and head up the break wall with a view of Yamba’s Pilot hill lighthouse. We then gently swing around to paddle alongside “Middle Wall”, famous for its Blackfish and Bream fishing. To the left there are continuous white beaches on Hickey and Dart Islands. We stop briefly as the guide describes the history of Yamba’s old railway and quarry which constructed the break walls in the delta mouth. A short paddle across to Freeburn Island sees us into mangrove lined rivulets where a diverse range of plant, sea and bird life can be discovered.

We then head through the opening in the middle wall and on to Moriaty beach. Here we stop for our morning tea break - “silver service” (no roughing it on our adventures!). Moriaty beach is a great place to relax, have a swim, snorkel or experiment with new kayaking skills. After being refreshed with home made cakes, fresh seasonal fruit and brewed tea and coffee, it is time to paddle home. We make our way into Yamba bay where our trip finishes on a small beach amongst anchored yachts. The end of another wonderful paddling trip.
