Spectacular views of Newcastle and its beaches. Brilliant design; from just a hill it has been transformed into a regular walking trek while giving a great tribute to the Australian WW1 diggers! Not to be missed..

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.

Reviewed By joniquelife - Australia, null
This lighthouse is sitting on the top of the hill on the outskirts of Byron Bay township with a great circuit walking trail that goes up and around the entire headland. Also a great place to spot whales off the headland during migration season This walk is moderate from the main Byron Bay Beach with amazing views or you can park closer and walk up! “Jonique Life” Follow our journey around Australia on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube as we highlight wonderful experiences and magical places you can add to your ever growing bucket list.
9. Coastal walk

Reviewed By halpmi - Port Macquarie, Australia
This is a lovely walk with some stairs, but the pathway is quite easy to manage. I would recommend early morning or late afternoon to take this walk. Early morning as the sun comes up is beautiful and with the chance to see dolphins around the river/Town Beach or possibly whales from the headlands....don't miss this and think of the benefits of the exercise!
10. Fort Scratchley

Reviewed By simonc721 - Munich, Germany
You can wander around the fort for free: there are some gun emplacements facing out to sea and three rooms describe the history of the fort (including how Newcastle was attacked by a Japanese submarine in WWII) and there are volunteers in army uniform around the site to explain things further. I also saw the 1pm cannon firing and did the paid ($12.50, 1h20m long) tunnels tour to see where the gunpowder and shells were stored and how firing the guns worked.
