Simply beautiful beach. Warm and inviting. But swimming is limited, unless you are confident in surf and know how to read a beach/sea

Love this beach. Incredible place to swim and chill. Perfect during the sunrise in the morning. Walk along the stretch, have a swim, relax. Good spot for yoga too. Great for people watching and hanging out. Come here, it’s great.

My Family and I spent a day at Byron Beach and it was amazing. The vibe was so laid-back and friendly, and the ocean views were simply stunning. I spent hours just lounging and soaking up the sun while watching surfers catch waves. It felt like the perfect escape from the usual hustle. If you’re ever in town, Byron Beach is definitely worth a visit.

Byron bay is a whole package of refreshing place to be visited with family! You simply can just laying down on the beach, doing grilling and barbecuing, enjoying doughnuts and coke, or you can go hiking a bit to end of Byron Bay point! And there’s a cute white little chapel near the lighthouse area, so beautiful! Worth to visit to calm your mind.

Long popular beach We visited Byron Bay during ANZAC weekend. The beach is adjacent to the town centre, very nice and extremely popular. Even at 10.30 am, it was extremely difficult to find a place to park the car. But once this was done, the beach itself is superb. There is something for everyone- surfers, swimmers, walkers or those who were there to simply relax. The water was still quite warm and the sweeping views delightful.
