Byron Bay is a unique blend of alternative lifestyle and upmarket retreat. It is the quintessential backpacker destination while also catering for the rich and famous, including movie stars and celebrities from all over the world.
A whaling station in the 1950s and then a hippie enclave during the 1970s, Byron Bay gradually became a holiday alternative to the crowded
Gold Coast because of its magnificent surf beaches, scenic coastline and hinterland, and distinctive laid-back style. Today Byron Bay successfully maintains its relaxed seaside ambience while providing for every possible taste in holidays, with an eclectic mix of accommodation and cafés, art and craft galleries, boutiques and eco-based attractions and tours, national parks, adventure activities and keynote events.
