There's so much to see and do in and around Byron Bay and the surrounding area.  You really can have as active or as relaxing a holiday as you like.

One of the main attractions for all visitors, and locals too, has to be the world-class beaches that stretch along the scenic coastline made up of sensational surfing spots, tranquil inlets, secluded beaches and rock formations. The coastline also features the most easterly point in Australia at Cape Byron with the famous landmark of Cape Byron Lighthouse viewable from most areas of the coastline.

The Byron Shire region is also well-known for its friendly and easygoing atmosphere.  This carries over into the surrounding quaint townships which are the source of many home made products which can be found amongst the local shops and especially at the weekend markets. Each weekend the market rotates to a different town in the Byron Shire region.  Many people travel from surrounding regions just to browse around the markets with their locally grown produce and hand made goods.

Scenic drives and bush walking are also popular past times for visitors to the area.  There are lots of little village-like towns set in beautiful countryside just a short drive from Byron Bay.  There are lots of bushwalking opportunities also in the hinterland areas to the west with walks ranging from easy strolls to challenging day walks for experienced bushwalkers.

During the winter months whales migrate along the coastline and can often be spotted if you're lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time. 

So whether your preference is for surfing, swimming, fishing, walking, shopping, dining out or just relaxing, you'll be sure to have a memorable and enjoyable stay in the Byron Shire region.
