About Byron Bay

Home to sufers and those who enjoy the alternative lifestyle, Byron Bay is also home to both hippies backpackers. With numerous beaches, national parks, and one of the country's most famous walks, it isn't hard to see how those who stop here find it hard to leave. Situated 800kms north of Sydney, it is usually the first or last stop on the itinerary for those travelling on the east coast of Australia, depending on which you way you are going. view more»

Byron Bay City Reviews

Excellent

Great place if you've got money or have a tight budget, if you want to get up to all sorts of shenanigans or nothing much. Either way there's plenty to take in and everyone has a great, laid-back attitude. Pot often helps this. Be sure to check out Nimbin, too, there are good day tours there.

  • Insider tip:Get vouchers for drinks and food at Cheeky Monkey's, they pretty much give those things away.
