Byron Bay | New South Wales

Byron Bay One of Australia's most fashionable and popular holiday destinations, Byron Bay is renowned for its balmy climate and excellent surfing beaches; it is also a popular area for scuba diving. A whaling town in the 1950s, Byron Bay is now full of galleries, boutiques, cafes and 'new age' shops, reflecting the holiday atmosphere and alternative lifestyle of the town. It is such a popular tourist destination, in summer the locals are frequently outnumbered by the tourists.

Main Attractions

Cape Byron, a rocky promontory 107m high, is the most easterly point in Australia. Cape Byron Lighthouse beams its light over 40km out to sea. A walking trail leads past the lighthouse to the tip of the Cape and the amazing coastal views. In July, humpback whales can be seen as they migrate up the coast and then seen again in September, Whale Festival time, when they make their return journey. Exclusive Wategos Beach is wholly north-facing and therefore very popular with surfers.
