Aside from inadvertently going on a hike on this trail, it was nothing short of spectacular…read more Headed up the path a couple hours before sunset. Stopped at the beaches along the path - the Pass, Wategos, Little Wategos and Tallow Beach on the way back down around the other side. Made it to the lighthouse just in time for the sunset. Many other people up there taking photos and just enjoying the scenery. Also many people on the beach, just hanging out or enjoying a beach picnic for the sunset. This is definitely a way of life in Byron & one I'm jealous of! As previously mentioned, this path is essentially a hike so dress appropriately. Once you pass Wategos, there are a ton of steps to go up towards the lighthouse. Lots of people getting their workout on as well. The lighthouse path is not to be missed on your trip to Byron Bay!

Maybe I'm just not into such things, but honestly this structure is a massive eyesore that…read morebasically sits on the headland and right on the border of Queensland and New South Wales. Once again, it is another one of those monuments to a person who not only wasn't the first person to discover Australia, but also wasn't the first European to discover the continent either. Yeah, this is basically just another example of a waste of government money. Actually, come to think of it, when I wrote the above I didn't realise that it was also a lighthouse. Hey, I guess that works since this is a pretty rocky park of the coast. Then again, I really don't see all that many ships coming too close to the coast here, considering that it is the Gold Coast, except for yachts and the like, so I guess it has its purposes. Looks good mind you.
