The body of a teenage boy has been recovered from a popular beachside swimming hole on the NSW north coast.
Emergency services responded to reports the 15-year-old was missing after jumping from a rock ledge into the Angourie Green Pool, 5km south of Yamba, about 3pm on Sunday.
Police officers searched the waterhole assisted by Surf Lifesavers, the Westpac Rescue Helicopter and police divers.
The boy's body was located at about 10pm on Sunday.
A former quarry, the swimming hole has rock ledges ranging in height up to about eight metres from which people can jump into the water.
The swimming hole is deep, reaching up to around 20m in some parts.
Since the start of summer, close to 50 people have drowned at waterways across Australia.
