Why it's worth checking out
Byron Beach fronts Lawson Street in the heart of Byron Bay, the laid-back coastal town that's become a byword for the good life. A strong 4.7 rating from 310 reviews reflects its standing as one of the area's most-loved spots.
The appeal is a beautiful, iconic town beach — golden sand and clear water right by the buzz of Byron, perfect for a swim, a surf, a sunbake or a stroll, with the famous cafes, shops and lighthouse walk all close by. It's the heart of any Byron visit.
Beaches have changing conditions, tides and seasonal patrols, and Byron gets very busy in holiday periods, so check current details and swim between the flags where patrolled. Otherwise it's a free, easygoing spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection, water and your swimmers.
