Apex Park

Apex Park sits on Bay Street at Byron Bay, right by the famous Main Beach in the beloved Northern Rivers beach town. A much-loved beachside park, it's a lovely green space by the sea — combining grassy lawns, picnic areas, shady trees and a great location right by Main Beach and the town centre, the kind of relaxed, central spot that's perfect for soaking up the Byron atmosphere.

The appeal is that combination of a gorgeous beachside setting and a brilliant central location: room to relax, picnic and unwind on the grass, with Main Beach right there, the town centre close by and Byron's famous laid-back mood all around. It's a beloved spot for a picnic, a relax before or after a swim, or simply soaking up the beachside buzz at the heart of Byron.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 410 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. The park is free and open, but facilities and any events vary, and it gets busy over summer and holidays, so it's worth taking sun protection and checking the surrounds before a special trip — though for a picnic, a relax or some time by the beach, you can generally just turn up and enjoy Apex Park at Byron Bay.
