This is basically a surfer's beach, and since it is quite a distance from the main beach, and thus…read morethe flags, then it is probably not one of those beaches that it is good to swim at, unless of course, you like to live dangerously. I would suggest that this is a quiet beach, then again, considering that it happens to be in the middle of a national park, then that goes without saying. However, considering that it does tend to be popular with surfers, I probably wouldn't designate this as a place to go for a swim.

Amazing beach situated towards the end of the pathway…read more I took a stroll along the lighthouse trail the previous day to stake out which beach I liked best for the following day. Wategos won hands down. The others were too busy. I happened to get lucky and my beach day was the first day of sun & warmth after weeks of rain. Due to this, the beach was quite crowded. Wategos provided ample sand to find a spot so that was a plus. Truth be told, any of the beaches along the path are gorgeous but for something a little more low key, I recommend Wategos or little Wategos.

Some beaches get more crowded than others so I would recommend taking a walk along the bridge and pathway first to see which one you like best. The path is close to Rae's & there is also a little beach hut/restaurant called the Pass cafe that is open during the afternoon so this is a nice beach to be able to grab food nearby when you get hungry. I miss Byron often..I hope I get to go back soon!

As you start on the trail look up in the trees and you might spot a koala. They are pretty high up, but visible. Head through the rain forest terrains up a very nice steep trail that is well maintained. You will come to many picturesque spots with spectacular views of the sea it's splendid! The light house itself is beautiful. Sitting high upon a lookout its white gleaming features remind me of Greece. There are also trails down to the rocky beach area where there are crashing waves and tide pools. Very cool hike/ walk.

One of my favourite things about Byron Bay is this walk. Yes, the social life is fun, the beaches…read moreare gorgeous and the weather is warm, but I think the walk really wins as my favourite Byron Bay activity. The walk can be configured in different ways, but basically it weaves its way down to Wategos Beach, then up to the eastern-most point of Australia, and then around to the Cape Byron lighthouse, then down through some gorgeous bushland, in a sort of loop. Or you can do it the other way around. It's definitely run-able, although some sections are steep and full of steps, so often everyone but the most fit athletes are reduced to walking... One of the things I love about this walk (apart from how gorgeous the vistas are...) is the steep up and down nature of it all. Steep climbs and descents, varied terrain, from open and in the sun, to hidden in the trees. How long it takes is entirely up to you. I started the walk as a jog - on the other side of town, and then did a sort of run-walk, circling back. That took about 75 minutes. Unfortunately most of the walk is not wheelchair accessible, and it can be pretty rough if you have bad knees.

Okay, you will encounter a plethora of surfing instructors, but honestly, should anybody actually be surprised, considering that this does happen to be Byron Bay. Anyway, as a park, well, it's really only all that good to walk past, though it doesn't tend to be anywhere near as crowded as the foreshore.

The water is crystal clear and blue. In September you can see whales swimming. You can take a long walk to the water and take some romantic shots together. There is also a cafe you can eat at.

Sure, it is a conservation park, meaning that you have to stick to the paths, but the trek around the cape is actually quite exhilarating, especially some of the views you have along the coast. There is even a lighthouse, as well as Australia's most easterly mainland point, which is also pretty cool. In fact, it seems that quite a few people take this walk in the morning, at least from what I could see.

As you walk up, you will be treated to stunning views of the coast and once you reach the lighthouse, a great photo op! Behind the lighthouse are multiple trails that wind down the hill towards small secluded empty beaches. If you're lucky enough and it's a beautiful clear day, you'll be able to spot whales and dolphins! We were lucky to catch a glimpse of a pod of dolphins nearby. As I walked through the trails, I was also able to spot a wallaby hiding in the brush and get some good pictures while being at a respectable distance and still on the trail. One of my favorite memories from my last trip.
