10 Free Things to do in Byron Bay That You Shouldn't Miss
Byron Bay's beaches are dotted with lighthouses and surrounded by bottlenose dolphins, rays, whales and sea turtles. This former New South Wales whaling station turned tourist town is still strongly influenced by its recent bohemian past, when hippie lifestyles flourished. Bongos and didgeridoos sound in parks, sarongs and dreadlocks are common, and vegetarian restaurants abound. Give in to the casual vibe and stroll between beaches and bars for a low-key and happy day.

The girl who was working in the shop was very helpful and friendly and spent a lot of time talking with customers about what they might be looking for/ how it could suit their space etc. Some very helpful advice. The photography is awesome, so nice to wander through the store.

It is rare to find an art gallery that has numerous pieces that I love. And our friends felt exactly the same. Alex, the owner, has an incredible eye for quality. He is clearly passionate about the pieces in his gallery, has a mountain of knowledge, and happens to be one of the nicest people you are likely ever to meet! Located in the arts and industrial estate. Treat yourself.

I love Byron so much. It’s getting quite commercial now and the prices are up there, but I definitely love the vibe and how everything is centrally located , so I recommend getting accomodation near by so you don’t really need to touch the car unless you’re driving to surf spots. I would avoid going during schoolies and school holidays to avoid the chaos .

So much more peaceful than main beach of the Pass and we love that our dog is as welcome as we are. We love our walks along the beach when the blue bottles are in or the wind is up almost as much as we love those perfect wave days.
