Cape Byron State Conservation Area - Byron Bay
Address: Tallow Beach Road
Byron Bay, NSW 2481
The Cape Byron Lighthouse has stood on the most easterly point of the Australian mainland for a century, and today you can take a tour of the tower. The rugged headland, surrounded by sheltered rainforest gullies and subtropical waters, is a great spot for watching turtles, dolphins and humpback whales on their annual migration.
The magnificent clifftop walking track winds its way through diverse plant communities, offering panoramic views of the ocean and north coast hinterland. Treat yourself at the top with a drink or snack at the Cape Cafe. You can tour Cape Byron Lighthouse and even stay the night in the lighthouse keeper's quarters (bookings essential). Walkways and toilets are wheelchair-accessible, though not inside the lighthouse and other buildings.
Opening times
Lighthouse Precinct is open from 8am - sunset. Please contact the Park Office for further details.
