Why Byron Bay
- Iconic backpacker destination with a unique bohemian and surf culture
- Beautiful beaches including Main Beach, Wategos, and The Pass with consistent surf breaks
- Australia's most easterly point — Cape Byron Lighthouse walk is a rite of passage
Byron Bay is the spiritual home of Australian backpacker culture — a bohemian beach town where surf, yoga, live music, and a free-spirited vibe converge. It sits at Australia's most easterly point and draws backpackers from around the world for its stunning beaches, creative community, and legendary hostel social scenes. It is not cheap, but it is an unmissable stop on the east coast trail.
