Byron Bay is Australia’s premier internationally recognised beachside holiday destination.
The beaches are renowned as the best in the world. The sand is soft pristine white, stretches for miles and the climate is temperate. The Arakwal Nature Reserve, Julian Rocks Marine Reserve and rainforest remnants are fiercely protected and provide a sanctuary for the multitude of endangered plant, animal and ocean species.
The downtown area is embraced by ‘The Bay’ to the north and Tallow Beach to the east. Crowned by the Cape Byron Lighthouse which is Australia’s most eastern, powerful and operational lighthouse. Nearby is Mt. Warning, a National Park and UNESCO World Heritage listed site of major significance to the Aboriginal People.
Byron Bay is a naturally exquisite place that attracts surfers, hippies, deep sea divers, musicians, writers, global back packers, new age healers, photographers, whale watchers, discerning world travelers and an eclectic mix of people wanting to experience some of the magic and harmony of this alternative active community that welcomes diversity and innovation.
Each year International Music Legends, Comedians, Writers, Readers, Poets, Publishers and Film Producers come together to showcase their work. The East Coast Blues Festival at Easter, the Splendour in the Grass Music Festival in July, and the Writers’ Festival in August , the Film Festival in October, rank as the best on the world. The annual Migration of the Humpback Whale in the winter attracts international researchers and sightseers.
Art galleries and boutique fashion shops showcase their individual works in town, at the Industry Park and the colourful local markets where fresh produce, unique handicrafts and leatherworks are also much sought after.
A vast array of delectable gourmet foods, indulgent desserts, organic vegetarian meals and Asian cuisine only hints at the range of possibilities available from many cafes and restaurants.
