Best free spots for views and experiences

Many of Byron Bay's best experiences are completely free. Walk the iconic Cape Byron Walking Track to Australia's easternmost point and the Cape Byron Lighthouse, where you'll be rewarded with sweeping ocean views and may even spot dolphins or whales during migration season.

Spend the day relaxing at Main Beach, The Pass or Wategos Beach, or hike to the Captain Cook Lookout for one of Byron's best panoramic viewpoints. If you're after a local experience, browse the Byron Community Market (held monthly) or explore the town's boutique shops, street art and live music scene.

For sunset, head to Main Beach, Clarkes Beach or the grassy headland below the lighthouse and watch the sky light up over the Pacific Ocean, it's one of Byron Bay's most unforgettable experiences.
