Captain Cook lookout and picnic area in Walgun Cape Byron State Conservation Area provides parking and access to one of Australia's most popular beaches. Under the shadow of the iconic Cape Byron Lighthouse, you can step out on the popular Walgun Cape Byron walking track, an invigorating 3.7-kilometre walk taking in coastal cliffs, rainforests and spectacular beaches.
With loads of parking and easy access to the beach, it's a family-friendly picnic spot with something for everyone. Head down for a refreshing swim in the crystal clear waters before enjoying a picnic lunch.
Enjoy the reviving coastal breezes and natural beauty of the surrounding headlands, rainforests and beaches. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins frolicking in the waves and be sure to pack your binoculars if you're visiting during whale-watching season.
