Premium Content Subscriber only LOOKING at the beaches denuded of sand and strewn with driftwood, it's hard to believe Byron Bay's popular coastline can ever recover. And with a leviathan 1.91m high tide predicted to decimate the beach on Tuesday, visitors and newbies to the tourism hotspot might despair of ever enjoying the town's Main or Clarkes beaches ever again. But fourth generation Byron local Kirra Pendergast, 50, is more stoic. In fact she's more positive than most when it comes to believing the beach will regenerate. "I was born here, grew up here, have seen the weather and heard a million stories growing up from my dad and other long time locals about these beaches," she said.
