Having spent our first 2 days after arriving in Sydney, Australia from our home in British Columbia 🍁 Canada, it was time start beginning our travels to the eastern part of this vast Country.
Our first stop on our Australian adventure was the famous resort town of Byron Bay, situated on the eastern shores of the Pacific.
Byron Bay is a picturesque seaside town approximately 770 kilometers north of Sydney, and just 165 kilometers south of Brisbane. This is a very popular location for both Australian’s and visitors, traveling to this destination from across the 🌎 globe.
While making our travel plans and the places we should visit during our stay, it was recommended by many others, to be sure to visit this part of Australia. Particularly if you are 🏖 beach lovers like ourselves.
Our plan was to spend 2 nights here and then continue on to – Gold Coast. We could have easily spent a few more days, enjoying the sites and the beautiful stretch of beach in Byron Bay!

Australia’s Eastern Most Point
Byron Bay not only has beautiful beaches to enjoy surrounded by lush rain forests, it is also the most {eastern point} of Australia.
The ⚓ Cape Byron Lighthouse and State Conservation Area are located here as well, that are definitely worth visiting.
Cape Byron Headland Reserve
It’s a pleasant 🥾 hike from the main beach, offering spectacular views of the surrounding Bay and area. This is not to be missed when visiting Byron Bay!
Cape Byron Lighthouse
“You simply have to visit Cape Byron Lighthouse when you’re in Byron Bay – the shipwreck history was fascinating, and the views from the top weren’t bad either.”
🐢 Turtles, 🐬 dolphins and 🐋 humpback whales can be viewed from this vantage point at certain times of the year.
We watched 🐬 dolphins swimming along the rocky banks from the Lighthouse viewpoint on our visit!

BreakFree Eco Beach Resort Byron Bay
From hostels, private rentals, modest to luxury accommodation, Byron Bay has it all in and around the town center. For those renting or arriving in their 🚌 Recreational Vehicles, then camping is ideal here and there’s a campground right in town!
We chose a modestly priced chain 🏨 hotel, located just a few minutes walk from the town center. The selection is endless in this town for suitable accommodations, for everyone’s travel budget.

Byron Bay is the perfect holiday resort destination for those looking for a more relaxed beach get-a-way, than that of busier 🏄 Surfers Paradise, to the north.
