Hayters Hill Nature Reserve is a small but ecologically significant reserve that protects a remnant of the once-widespread lowland subtropical rainforest and coastal heath. Visitors can explore short walking trails through lush vegetation, where they may spot wallabies, bandicoots, and a variety of bird species. The reserve provides a peaceful escape from the bustling town, with interpretive signs highlighting the unique flora and fauna. Its proximity to Byron Bay makes it an easy and rewarding stop for nature lovers.
