Cape Byron Headland - Byron Bay

Cape Byron Headland

Cape Byron Headland

Cape Byron is the most easterly point of the Australian mainland and the headland rises 94 meters above sea level..

There is a 5km walking track that leads from Watego's Beach up the headland to the lighthouse and back. It's quite steep in places so allow yourself plenty of time.

The magnificent views from the top along the coastline are simply stunning!

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars

Byron Bay Lighthouse - Byron Bay

Byron Bay Lighthouse

Byron Bay Lighthouse

The Byron Bay Lighthouse sits on top of the Cape Byron Headland and has been a beacon for passing ships since 1901. The headland here is 94 metres above sea level and the Lighthouse stands 22 metres high.

You can walk or drive the 8km's to the Lighthouse from Byron Bay depending on how fit you are feeling at the tome. You will certainly see more if you choose to walk but it is steep and it can be very hot in summer.

Directions: 8 km's from Byron Bay

Byron Bay

Byron Bay

Byron Bay is blessed with a beautiful beach by the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. It's a very popular spot for swimming, surfing and diving.

The beach is patrolled by lifesavers but it remains wise to stay between the flags. Although heart attcks are more common than shark attacks down under it pays to stay alert as an unfortunate surf skier discovered here in October 2007.
