Cape Byron Lighthouse

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.

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!

Beautiful, picturesque spot, high atop Byron. In December/January, it's best to get here early in the Morning, as Parking fills quickly.

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!

We visited the Byron Bay Lighthouse, also known as the Cape Byron Lighthouse, on a sunny afternoon and were blown away by the stunning views. The lighthouse is located on the easternmost point of mainland Australia, and the scenery is simply breathtaking. Make sure you visit the museum too. *Highlights:* - *Panoramic Views:* The lookout offers spectacular 360-degree views of the coastline, ocean, and surrounding landscape. On a clear day, you can see the Gold Coast skyscrapers in the distance. - *Whale Watching:* During whale migration season (June to November), the lookout is a great spot to spot humpback whales. - *Sunset:* The lookout is perfect for watching the sunset, with the golden light casting a warm glow over the ocean. If you are lucky you can spot BOTTLENECK DOLPHINS too. *Experience:* The drive to the lighthouse is scenic, winding through beautiful coastal forest. The lookout area is well-maintained and offers plenty of space to take in the views. We spent hours here, taking photos, watching the surfers, and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. *Tips:* - *Arrive Early:* Get there early to secure parking and avoid the crowds. - *Bring Sun Protection:* Wear sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun. - *Respect the Environment:* Take care to respect the natural environment and Aboriginal cultural heritage. *Rating Breakdown:* - *Scenic Views:* 5/5 - *Facilities:* 4/5 - *Accessibility:* 4/5 - *Overall Experience:* 4.5/5 *Recommendation:* The Byron Bay Lighthouse is a must-visit attraction for anyone traveling to the Byron Bay area. The views are simply stunning, and the experience is unforgettable. Be sure to arrive early, bring sun protection, and respect the environment.

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.
