Visit the lighthouse

No trip to Byron Bay is complete without a visit to the Cape Byron Lighthouse, located on Australia’s most easterly point. Take a tour (gold coin donation), enjoy a coffee at the Lighthouse Café or hike the Cape Byron Walking Track if you’ve got a few hours spare.

Cook your own

Byron Bay may be home to range of award-winning restaurants, bars and cafes, but for those on a budget, eating out can quickly eat up your cash. Save it for a special occasion and make your everyday eating a grocery affair. Cook up a storm with the fantastic camp kitchen at Byron Bay Holiday Park or make the most of the facilities in our self-contained cabins

Be entertained

Buskers abound in Byron Bay. On nearly every street corner you’ll find a musician showing off their skills. There’s also a free drumming and dancing circle on the grassland above Main Beach every night around 6pm. Feel free to join in - it’s an unforgettable experience!

Watch for whales

Another low-cost, memorable activity to do in Byron Bay is to spend time watching for the gentle giants of the deep. The Cape Byron Lighthouse is a great spot for watching whales as they make their annual migration between May and November.

As you can see, a visit to Byron Bay doesn’t have to break the bank. Stay at Reflections Byron Bay, save on a campsite or Byron Bay glamping tent and be sure to choose low-cost dining and entertainment options. It’s possible to enjoy a budget-friendly, yet unforgettable, Byron Bay escape.
