Why it's worth checking out
Cape Byron sits at the eastern tip of Byron Bay, the famously relaxed coastal town in the Northern Rivers — and is the most easterly point of the Australian mainland. A genuine icon, it's crowned by the historic Cape Byron Lighthouse and surrounded by stunning coastal scenery, with the famous lighthouse walk leading to breathtaking ocean views and that iconic 'most easterly point' marker.
The appeal is that combination of a genuinely iconic landmark, breathtaking coastal scenery and a beautiful walk: the lighthouse, the most-easterly-point marker, the sweeping ocean views and the chance to spot dolphins, turtles and — in season — migrating whales make it an unmissable Byron experience. The headland walk is a rite of passage, with stunning vistas at every turn.
With a 4.8 rating from more than 180 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved destination. The headland, walks and lookouts are open, but conditions vary with the weather, the walk involves hills and the clifftops are exposed, and there can be parking fees and busy periods, so it's worth checking before you go — and taking water, sun protection and decent footwear — while enjoying the lighthouse, the views and the most easterly point of Australia at Cape Byron.
