The Lighthouse Walk. A morning ritual—and non-negotiable—for many Byron Bay locals. Built in 1901, the Cape Byron Lighthouse was originally designed to guide ships along the coast. These days, it’s less about navigation and more about the daily rhythm of the town.

Surfers stop at the lookout to check the swell, locals make the loop part of their morning routine, and visitors line the coastline hoping to spot dolphins or humpback whales passing through each year.

An iconic stop in this seaside village—and after finally making the walk ourselves, we can confirm it lives up to every bit of the hype.
