Byron Bay

Byron Bay is a beachside town located in the far-north-eastern corner of NSW. It is located 722km north of Sydney and 165km south of Brisbane. Byron is home to the most easterly point of Australia. This means you can go for an early morning surf or walk and be one of the first to see the sunrise. Byron Bay is known for its bountiful beaches, rainforest hinterland, creative community and innovative food scene.
