Visiting Lighthouse Beach and Protestors Falls will get you outdoors. Visit Broken Head Beach and Tallow Beach for some beach relaxation. Get out of town with these interesting Byron Bay side-trips: Hastings Point Headland (in Hastings Point), Fingal Beach (in Fingal Head) and Victoria Park Nature Reserve (in Alstonville). There's much more to do: browse the eclectic array of goods at Bangalow Market, trek along Mount Warning Summit Trail, indulge in some culinary diversions at a local gastronomic tour, and examine the collection at Bangalow Heritage House Museum.
