Some places are iconic for a reason. Byron delivers on the buzz — from golden beaches to design-forward hubs and those coastline views you never quite forget. Here are a few favourites to start with.

EXPLORE, BYRON BAY
Wategos Beach
This one’s not a secret — but it still feels like it. Nestled beneath the lighthouse and kissed by calm turquoise waves, Wategos is Byron at her barefoot best. Swim. Laze. Pretend you’re moving here. Bring a picnic or nothing at all — the salt does the heavy lifting.
Habitat
A curated pocket of cool where Byron’s creative crowd actually hangs. Habitat is all clean lines, conscious living, and “where did you get that?” finds. Boutique fashion, oat lattes, natural wine, and a certain smugness that comes with being in the know — all in one design-forward hub. Go for brunch, leave with a new identity.
Cape Byron Lighthouse
Touristy? Sure. Worth it? Absolutely. The walk is part of the pilgrimage — cliffs, whales, wind in your hair — and at the top, you’ll hit the most easterly point of the mainland like it’s the edge of the world. Get there at sunrise if you want the full cinematic experience. No filters needed.
