Cape Byron walking track

Discover Bryon Bay’s striking natural wonders as you trek along the nearly 4km (2mi) Cape Byron walking track, which leads you around the area’s rich and diverse topography, from rainforests to sea cliffs, as well as the cape’s famous lighthouse. From May to October, Cape Byron is also a prime whale- and dolphin-watching spot. You’ll find a small café at the lighthouse, perfect for a quick bite and drink before tackling the rest of the track. Don’t forget to pack your bathing suit for a refreshing dip at Wategos Beach. Recommended by local insider Sarah Reid
