A stunningly beautiful place offering breathtaking views of the endless Pacific ocean. It’s absolutely worth doing the short and easy hike to the Most Easterly Point of the Australian Mainland. We visited as a day’s trip from Brisbane and just loved it !

A must-visit gem in Byron Bay. This stunning spot offers breathtaking views, rich history and a chance to connect with nature in a truly special way. From the lighthouse, panoramic views stretch across the Pacific Ocean, Byron Bay, and the surrounding coastline - perfect for sunrise or sunset. ❤️

$10 for a vehicle entry was very worth it! Toilets on sites down some stairs including PWD toilet. The view was stunning! No wait to enter or need to purchase tickets in advance. They offered eftpos to pay!

The loop walk to the Lighthouse is absolutely stunning. Inside you can find lots of interesting information in the free/donation based Museum. In front of the lighthouse is a thing where you can screw your camera on to get some photos in the light house or sea direction. Great for solo travelers!

Absolutely beautiful place! Did the walking trail up to the lighthouse where there were great views and was able to go look inside with a lovely volunteer tour guide for free. Main downside to this area is zero parking. We had to park quite far away and only after another person left. Didnt mind being far because we like walking but trying to find a spot anywhere in Byron Bay was very stressful.

The view was amazing however even at 545am on a Sunday morning there is very little parking so if you are not one of the 10 people to get a spot (there were about 100 people there) expect a $140 parking fine from the Byron Bay council. What kind of person sets an alarm to go and ticket cars in an area they are trying to promote visitors? Really put a dampener on a weekend health retreat trying to reduce stress and its $140 not being spent at the local businesses.

Beautiful scenery for the uphill and the lighthouse. The lighthouse is beautiful and well maintained. A little hiking to climb before or you can enjoy the Byron Bay point as well and enjoy the magnificent view of the waves.

It’s beautiful place to visit for sunrise and sunset. There are free and paid parking. But you need to drive out before they close the gate after sunset. Just confirm with the staff members there. The lighthouse and the most easterly point lookout are close to each other.
