Killen Falls

Killen Falls in located in Tintenbar, which is about a 20-minute drive from Byron Bay. It is a beautiful natural waterfall with a cave-surrounded pool in the center. It’s the perfect place to explore on both hot days and slightly rainy days when the waterfall is at it’s fullest.

The Pass

The Pass is arguably the best place to surf in Byron Bay. One of the most beautiful natural coastlines in the area, this is as good as it gets. Watch the sun set over the bay, swim in the crystal-clear blue water, or watch the surfers, dolphins, and the occasional whale from the lookout.

The Lighthouse

Doing the coastal walk up to the lighthouse is a must when visiting Byron. Not only do you walk pas beautiful cliff faces and pristine beaches, the view from the lighthouse is 360 degrees of serenity. If you’re lucky, you’ll also spot some whales migrating.

White’s Beach

White’s beach is located at Broken Head, and it’s often referred to as a hidden gem. It’s a little out of the way, which makes it quite secluded a lot of the time.

Minyon Falls

Minyon Falls is a huge waterfall that descends more than 100 metres over huge cliffs in the hinterlands of Byron. There are various trail walks, with the shortest being about half an hour, and all include stunning scenery and wildlife.

Sunday Markets
