The 9 Best Nature & Parks in Byron Bay, New South Wales

July 22, 2021 Emerita Lamoureux

Byron Bay's beaches are dotted with lighthouses and surrounded by bottlenose dolphins, rays, whales and sea turtles. This former New South Wales whaling station turned tourist town is still strongly influenced by its recent bohemian past, when hippie lifestyles flourished. Bongos and didgeridoos sound in parks, sarongs and dreadlocks are common, and vegetarian restaurants abound. Give in to the casual vibe and stroll between beaches and bars for a low-key and happy day.

Great for cycling (at low tide), long walks to broken head (home of Chris Hemsworth), swimming without the crowds, fishing and relaxing with a good book.

The Pass Beach

Reviewed By sodesa - Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei Darussalam

Visited the Pass Beach on a Saturday morning, and found the beach delightfully picturesque with surfers from all walks of life. It’s linked by walking trail to Wategos beach, and the Lighthouse. It is very accessible from downtown, and has ample parking

I love Byron so much. It’s getting quite commercial now and the prices are up there, but I definitely love the vibe and how everything is centrally located , so I recommend getting accomodation near by so you don’t really need to touch the car unless you’re driving to surf spots. I would avoid going during schoolies and school holidays to avoid the chaos .

So much more peaceful than main beach of the Pass and we love that our dog is as welcome as we are. We love our walks along the beach when the blue bottles are in or the wind is up almost as much as we love those perfect wave days.
