Why you'll love it
Byron Bay is a beach town on the far north coast of New South Wales, at Australia's most easterly point. It scores 9 out of 10 for beaches and wellness, and 8 for food, romance and nature, with surf, yoga and cafés side by side.
The best time to visit Byron Bay is September to November or March to May, with warm water, sunny days and quieter beaches than the summer holidays.
Walk the Cape Byron track to the lighthouse, where dolphins are common and humpback whales pass in winter and spring. Swim at Main Beach or Wategos, take a surf lesson at The Pass, or kayak with dolphins. Inland, the hinterland towns of Bangalow and Mullumbimby have markets, cafés and rainforest drives.
Byron Bay suits couples, friends and anyone who wants a relaxed beach break.
