Byron
Laid-back, Byron Bay is a melting pot of cosmopolitan chic, alternative philosophies,
beach culture and hedonistic indulgence that you won’t find anywhere else...
Byron’s cultural kaleidoscope offers a huge variety of experiences for the holiday-maker: from surfing and kayaking with dolphins to a family day at the beach; from gourmet dining to fish and chips in the park; from massages, mud-baths and meditation to cycling, skydiving and hang-gliding over the Cape.
Contrasting with the buzz of the Bay is the serenity and natural wonder of the hinterland... lush dairy farms, market gardens and macadamia plantations roll across gently wooded hills overlooking the blue Pacific, Byron and Julian Rocks.
The streets of Byron are home to a mix of galleries and spas; homewares, designer apparel and jewellery; as well as cafés, juice bars, restaurants and ice-creameries to tempt the palate.
The Byron beachfront is the ultimate people-watching venue as sand sculptors, fire dancers and performers mingle with visitors from around the globe.
Markets
Each month, the Butler Street Reserve (1st Sunday) and Bangalow Showground (4th Sunday) come alive with artists, tinkers, tailors and candlestick makers selling home-grown and homemade wares at the famous Byron and Bangalow Markets.
Dining & Entertainment
Try a different award-winning restaurant every night or relax in a cosmopolitan café over a leisurely lunch. The Byron music scene is thriving, with pubs, clubs and cafés offering jazz, rock and blues; folk, funk and comedy.
Byron’s innovative artistic community also provides a feast for live theatre, film and culture buffs. Local cinemas and theatres offer a diverse playbill with everything from the mainstream to the classical and avant garde.
Village Vitality
The villages of the Shire each have a very distinctive character and ambience. Bangalow’s galleries, antique shops and restaurants are irresistible, and the festive monthly markets are a major event.
Brunswick Heads
Brunswick Heads is famous for its relaxed lifestyle, river, beaches, old-fashioned hospitality and its fabulous riverside pub. Brunswick offers casual dining and waterfront camping and some of the best fishing on the coast.
Mullumbimby
Mullumbimby’s colourful community is a harmonius blend of traditional rural Australia and the new era of alternative lifestylers. Mullum’s broad streets are lined with boutiques, classic country pubs, health food and organic produce stores and cosy cafés.
