Things to do in Byron Bay

Byron Bay is located in the northeast corner of New South Wales, Australia. There are no koalas or kangaroos here, but only beaches, lighthouses and small towns. Many European and American surfers run wild here.

Built in 1899, Cape Byron Lighthouse is the most powerful lighthouse on the Australian coast and is located on the east coast of New South Wales, Australia. Cape Byron is the easternmost point of mainland Australia and the lighthouse is located approximately 3 km northeast of the town of Byron Bay.

Such a beautiful place to visit. If you’re in the area give yourself at least a half day to be able to take your time and wander around and enjoy the cafe views and the events at the dome. Truly magical.

We went straight to the zoo after getting off the plane. We arrived quite late, but we were lucky enough to see most of the animals, including wombats, Tasmanian devils, and smiling rats. A great zoo, highly recommended. The coffee at the entrance was delicious, and feeding the parrots was also very interesting. Feeding starts at 4 PM, and even when we left at 5 PM, there were still parrots to feed.

Byron Bay Main Beach is the largest beach here. It is very long and has a wide sandy beach with white and soft sand. The waves here are very big, attracting many surfing enthusiasts every day. It is definitely the main attraction of Byron Bay and must not be missed.
