Diggers Beach

Reviewed By 993anitat - Forster, Australia

We were staying at Korora Beach just a bit further north. The beach is full of pebbles and rocks. We happened to fine Diggers Beach which is just lovely. Great white sand, plenty of room for everyone and a nice little wave. There is a couple of lookouts so that the surfers and check out the surf, plenty of parking, nice picnic facilities as well as a modern amenities block.

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 .

Lennox Head Beach

Reviewed By Chezbut - Tamworth, Australia

A great, flat sandy beach for walking. As it is dog friendly we got to meet all breeds and spoke with many locals who are also very friendly, lol. Also, the water was still beautiful and warm for this time of year.

Billabong Zoo: Koala & Wildlife Park

Reviewed By 213laurencey - Hemel Hempstead, United Kingdom

Today we visited Billabong zoo greeted by lovely ticket staff with big smiles and a lovely welcome. It has been one of the highlights of our holiday. The zoo keepers are not only amazing but very informative and show care and expertise in how they treat the animals. Always with the greatest respect I might add. Special thanks to Simonne no one knows more about Koalas than this young woman. Also she did several other animal talks given us a real insight to the work they do at the zoo and the importance of conservation. Thanks also to Brooke and her assistant we had a very informative chat about big cats she is an amazing young woman what an achievement working with these wonderful complex animals at such a young age. Also to Ashley excellent talk over the noise of traffic which wasn't easy about the stunning red pandas who obviously adore her. Shrek was fantastic and our jaws dropped at the skill of the presentation by both Keepers. Cafe offered lots of delights but we ended up with only having drinks and ice cream as the weather was too hot to eat a hot meal! Hope to visit again soon!

Belongil Beach

Reviewed By KJSSydney

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.
