Cape Byron marks the most easterly point of the Australian mainland, a rugged headland of dramatic sea cliffs and lush rainforest. The Cape Byron Walking Track is a 3.7-kilometer loop that winds from the town beaches up to the lighthouse, passing through coastal heath and offering breathtaking views at every turn. Along the way, visitors encounter lookouts like the 'Most Easterly Point' sign, perfect for photos, and can spot dolphins, sea turtles, and migrating whales. The track is suitable for all fitness levels and provides a quintessential Byron Bay experience of nature and coastal beauty.
