Sunrise at the lighthouse, afternoons on Wategos Beach, and hinterland waterfalls that take your breath away; it’s all here waiting.





Byron Bay sits at the easternmost point of Australia, around 8–9 hours’ drive north of Sydney, two hours south of Brisbane, or just under an hour from the Gold Coast. Say less! Prefer to fly? The closest airport is Ballina Byron Gateway, a quick 35-minute drive from Byron Bay town. Shuttle buses and car hire from the airport make getting here a breeze.

The light that shines by night over Cape Byron Marine Park emanates from a tower as famous as the town of Byron Bay itself.
Built at the turn of the 19th century to protect ships passing along the coast, Cape Byron Lighthouse stands resolute on the most easterly point of the Australian mainland. Operated by resident keepers until 1989, its now automated light is clearly visible from Byron Bay township.
Learn more about this iconic white tower and find out about shipwrecks and stories from the sea in the Maritime Museum below.
Bring your binoculars to enjoy some of the best views of the ocean and hinterland on the entire coast. There are regular sightings of turtles, dolphins and humpback whales from this iconic point.
