About Byron Bay
Byron Bay sits at mainland Australia's most easterly point, where a historic lighthouse marks dramatic headland views and the chance to spot migrating whales and dolphins offshore. The town's long-standing alternative, bohemian spirit shows in its yoga retreats, markets and live music scene, while excellent surf breaks line the beaches on either side of the cape.
