Practical details
Why it's worth checking out
The Lighthouse Trail start sits on Brooke Drive in Byron Bay, at the gateway to the celebrated Cape Byron walking track on the NSW Northern Rivers coast. A near-perfect 4.8 rating from 29 reviews reflects its standing as a genuine highlight.
The appeal is one of the region's most spectacular walks — the start of the trail up to the iconic Cape Byron Lighthouse and Australia's most easterly point, with breathtaking coastal views, whale watching in season and a genuine sense of occasion. It's an unforgettable, largely free outing.
Coastal walking tracks have changing conditions and seasonal considerations, and the walk includes some steep sections, so check current details before you go. Bring plenty of water, sun protection, sturdy footwear and your camera.
