24 days in Byron Bay Itinerary

Named after Lord Byron's grandfather, Byron Bay is not only famous as the easternmost point of Australia, but even more so as one of the liveliest vacation spots in the country.

You'll enjoy a bit of beach vacationing at Pippi Beach and Tallow Beach. Step off the beaten path and head to Adrenaline & Extreme Tours and Cabarita Beach. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Byron Bay: Yamba (Turners Beach, Main Beach Yamba, &more), Evans Head (Bundjalung National Park & Evans Head Memorial Aerodrome Heritage Aviation Museum) and Angourie (Spooky Beach & Angourie Blue Pool). Spend the 21st (Wed) exploring nature at Arakwal National Park. Spend the 22nd (Thu) exploring nature at Border Ranges National Park. And it doesn't end there: enjoy the sand and surf at Broken Head Beach, identify plant and animal life at Pat Morton Lookout, tour the pleasant surroundings at Lighthouse Beach, and trot along with a tour on horseback.
