The coastal town of Byron Bay, (Byron Bay), is surrounded by its lush hinterland and original ecological beaches, with a pleasant landscape throughout the year, where you can enjoy the city-style alternative seaside town.
Until the 1960s, Byron Bay was just a seaside industrial cluster, known as meat processing, fishing and whaling. But just a few years later, the town changed dramatically as long-board surfers travelling along Australia's east coast discovered two legendary surfers-Wategos and The Pass.. These surfers tend to be barefoot, salty-haired, and unconventional, and their appearance is beginning to change the cultural landscape of the town, soon, Byron Bay became the ideal place for hippies and people looking for alternative lifestyles.
Of course, today's Byron Bay has become a well-functioning modern seaside town with a well-developed tourism industry with exquisite hotels, bars and restaurants. But it still retains a trace of Bohemian essence, along with primordial beaches and abundant marine life. The world has slowed down in Byron Bay, the leisure area of two nearby cities less than two hours from Brisbane and only an hour's drive from the Gold Coast. So people don't have to worry about whether to travel luxuriantly or light.
[体] surf
Byron Bay is a world-famous surfing resort, but you don't have to show off your surfer skills like Mick Fanning. As a junior surfer, Bilango Beach (Belongil Beach) or Wategos is your preferred choice. Belongil Beach and Main Beach are within a mile of walking distance, while Wategos is a beautiful strip beach. Located on the north side of the local landmark lighthouse. Higher levels of surfer enthusiasts may consider The Wreck, a rather unique surfing area, just off the coast of Main Beach, formed by the sinking of the SS Wollongbar ship.
Would you like to improve your surfing? The Black Dog Surfing School offers a variety of guided tours, and the instructor will take you to the best surfing site according to the weather conditions of the day. If you prefer the world below the waves, you can take you to the waters of Julian Rocks and The Pass to the north of Wategos Beach, both of which are located within Cape Byron Marine Park. The sea is home to more than 1000 species of marine life, including sea turtles, tropical fish and even endangered sand tiger sharks.

Whale watching operation
Between May and November, as many as 17000 humpback whales migrate from Antarctic foraging areas to warm Byron Bay waters to breed. Cetaceans are said to use land as some form of navigation coordinates, and Cape Byron is the easternmost point of Australia, so this is the best place to watch such behemoths in Australia.
