Byron Bay Walking Tour

Byron Bay, Australia

Why Walk Byron Bay

Byron Bay sits at the easternmost point of the Australian mainland, marked by the Cape Byron Lighthouse on a dramatic headland. The town grew from a whaling station and farming community into a counterculture hub in the 1960s and 70s, and retains a creative, laid-back character. The beaches curve north and south from the cape, and the hinterland rises into subtropical rainforest. Whale watching from the lighthouse is spectacular during migration season.
