''One of the most attractive stops on the Whole East Coast'' Lonely Planet

Only two hours drive from Brisbane, beside the Pacific Ocean, is the beautiful little town of Byron Bay. It is famous all over Australia and beyond for its unique character. In fact, Byron Bay cultivates a way of life that is reminiscent of the sixties, where the people prefer to get around on bicycles, where greeting your neighbours comes naturally, where a little local restaurant is more popular than MacDonald’s, and nature is an integral part of daily life. This is why, in 2007, the New South Wales state government decided to limit real estate development here, in order to preserve the natural beauty of the area. The Cape Byron Lighthouse looks out over the ocean on Australia’s eastern-most tip, where the waves are ideal for surfing. Sunbathers will also find idyllic beaches, perfect for relaxing or skinny-dipping.
