The working 1901 lighthouse at Cape Byron marks the easternmost point of mainland Australia. The headland walk takes around 30 minutes, whale season runs June to November, and sunrise, with the light still turning, is the version worth setting an alarm for.

Right on Jonson Street, where Byron's foot traffic peaks by nine. Palace holds a prime position on the main drag. No deep review trail yet, but location like this earns its own audition. Worth a look on a quieter weekday morning.

A flat, shaded green space on Jonson Street built on the old rail corridor. Families use it to decompress between beach runs, and it connects directly to the cycling path heading south through town. Free, unfussy, and genuinely useful.

A ridge-top pull-off on Coolamon Scenic Drive where the Byron hinterland spreads out across macadamia farms and rainforest canopy. No facilities, no crowds. Just the view and the winding road that brought you here. Dusk is the right time to arrive.

Byron's quietest long beach, four kilometres of exposed Pacific coastline running south from Cape Byron to Arakwal National Park. No kiosk, no crowds, no frills. The locals come here precisely because the tourists don't know to.

A short rainforest-to-headland walk inside Broken Head Nature Reserve, with coastal views back toward Byron's lighthouse and almost none of the foot traffic that plagues the Cape Byron track. Go early, bring water, wear shoes you can trust on uneven ground.
