The stunning Wategos Beach at Byron Bay with a 4.7 rating across 260 reviews.
Practical details
Why it's worth checking out
Wategos Beach is one of Byron Bay's most beautiful beaches, tucked below the famous Cape Byron headland on the New South Wales north coast. A strong 4.7 rating from 260 reviews reflects its standing as a genuine highlight.
The appeal is a stunning, sheltered cove — a north-facing beach with calm water, golden sand and lush headland surrounds, popular for swimming, surfing and simply soaking up the scenery, with the walk to the Cape Byron lighthouse close by and dolphins often spotted offshore. It's a genuine Byron highlight.
Beaches have changing conditions, tides and seasonal facilities, and parking is limited, so check current details if you're planning around something specific. Otherwise it's a free, beautiful spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection, water and your swimmers.
