Located at Australia’s easterly most point, this walk offers a stunning vista of migrating whales as well as resident dolphins and leopard sharks. Known to many as the Rainbow Region, Byron Bay is home to a thriving local community of musicians and artists and hosts a variety of colourful markets and festivals. The beaches are also popular for a huge range of activities such as surfing, swimming, kite surfing, scuba diving and of course relaxing.
