Byron Shire Mayor Simon Richardson says he hopes Byron Bay’s Main Beach will be able to recover after being engulfed by a king tide.

“It’s a beach that we all hold really dear,” he told Sky News.

“We’ve had quite a lot of erosion events leading up to this previously and obviously we’ve got another big king tide tomorrow and some more gnarly weather so hopefully we all batten down the hatches and so does this particular area and when the water recedes the beach can begin to restore itself.”

Mr Richardson called for locals and tourists to be responsible and remain safe by not driving on flooded roads.

“Along the coast the waves have been huge, we’re looking up to five metre waves, we’ve got large swells, crazy water, we’ve also got king tides and really high water levels smashing along the whole coast," he said.
