Best Beach in Byron Bay

"By many considered to be the prettiest beach in the Byron Bay area, Wategos Beach is a pleasantly sheltered strip of sand with a relaxed vibe and great facilities. Wategos produces a friendly surf, suitable for learner surfers. Located between Cape Byron and the Fisherman’s Lookout, below the Byron Bay Lighthouse, Wategos Beach can be accessed by foot via the Cape Byron walking track."

"Wategos Beach sits below Cape Byron and is one of the prettiest beaches in the area. With beautiful beach houses perched above the sand, Wategos remains one of the most desirable strips in Byron Bay. The north facing beach is ideal for swimming and sunbathing, while a scenic walkway leads to the sand at Little Wategos Beach."

"A stunning Tuscan style guest house, nestled in an exclusive ocean front valley at beautiful Wategos beach, just under the famous Cape Byron lighthouse. Personalised and intuitive service in elegantly decorated rooms with fine furnishings."

"If you’ve hiked to the top of Cape Byron via Lighthouse Road, you’ve most likely seen the beautiful half-moon shaped beach on the right-hand side. Four miles long, Tallow Beach is much more remote than the beaches on the north side of Byron Bay. This means ample space for any four-legged friends to join you for a long walk on the beach."

"Tallow Beach is a deserted sandy stretch that extends for 7km south from Cape Byron. This is the place to flee the crowds: much of the beach is backed by Arakwal National Park. The suburb of Suffolk Park sprawls..."

"A scenic bridge between Cape Byron State Conservation Area and Broken Head Nature Reserve, Tallow Beach offers a terrific place to throw down a towel and soak up the sun."

"Belongil Beach is the first northerly beach and is about a one km walk north of Main Beach, it is a consistent beach good for all levels of surfing ability. It works best on a south easterly swell with an off-shore southerly or south westerly wind. It’s a quieter beach than some others which is good for beginners when the waves are small."

"Situated just to the west of the town's centre, Belongil Beach is an attractive combination of white sand and sparkling blue water that offers plenty of space for swimming, sunbathing and beachcombing. Beachfront properties, including many holiday rentals, are situated moments away from the water."

"Clarke’s Beach is one of Byron’s beaches and this one is has rock and tidal pools to explore and is good for snorkelling along the rocks close to shore. This is an unpatrolled beach. This is one spot along the walking track that you may like to stop, have a swim or a snorkel before continuing to the next spot on the track."

"Clarkes beach can be rather flat when the swell is small but when the swell is pumping this is no place for a learner!. Clarkes beach is also patrolled by surf lifesavers in summer."

"Coffee before cocktails is essential, and it’s unlikely you’ll find a better cup in Byron than at Top Shop. As the name suggests, this locally loved café sits on the top of a hill, and is best known in town for serving up excellent, single origin coffee, along with a tasty range of burgers and sandwiches. Heads up — this place can get rather busy, so just in case you can’t find a seat, do as the locals do and sit on the grass by the road for a makeshift picnic."

"Smoothies, single-origin coffees and delicious pastries offer a sweet finish to a cafe menu boasting an unmatched burger selection. From beef to chicken, mushroom to halloumi, your taste buds will find what they’re craving on The Top Shop’s blackboard menu, all served between house-made buns. Gather around a table in this popular local hang-out or sprawl out on the grass under blue skies."

"It’s just a five-minute walk from the centre, but this former 1950s milk bar feels like a real find – until you see the queue for coffee, at least. Top Shop has limited seating, so meals are served in eco-friendly disposable packaging and most patrons stake out a patch on the grassy knoll out front."

"Whenever you walk by this Byron Bay café expect to see it overflowing- the food and vibe are so good it’s always packed with locals and visitors alike. The interior décor and outdoor seating at this café ooze quintessential bohemian Byron charm and the food is delicious, with plenty of vegetarian options. Address: Corner Jonson & Marvell Street, Byron BayHours: Monday- Sunday 7 am – 2 pm"

"Again, this one was recommended by locals, but it’s clear tourists know about it also. Be prepared to line up. But, it is 100% worth it."

"399 Ewingsdale Road, Byron Bay www.facebook.com/folkbyronbay Self-described as ‘organic, ethical, and plant-based’, Folk is quintessentially Byron. The cafe is a quiet oasis that sits on the outskirts of town and focuses on hearty but healthy breakfasts and quality coffee. Like any joint in the beachside district (even one a hop skip and a jump from the main drag) Folk is popular and there can be a wait for tables at times – but for those who can’t stomach the thought of a queue the eatery has a younger sister in nearby Bangalow,"

"It’s also popular with flexitarians who come here to eat and eat well. Our favourites at the garden café tacked onto a caravan park, where tree stumps serve as stools and railway sleepers define the veggie patch, include the smashed avo on organic sourdough (of course) with house-made dukkah, garden greens and toasted seeds or the Folk burrito with spiced biodynamic brown rice and quinoa with organic black beans, spiced kraut and cumin-roasted pumpkin."

"If you’re vegetarian or vegan, then you’ll quickly fall in love with the menu options at Folk. Add to this the dreamy, Instagrammable garden setting and swinging tunes, and you’ve got yourself a killer breakfast spot!. View this post on Instagram"

"Just down the road from Byron at Byron, the Roadhouse is always buzzing. Recently under new management, the team at the Roadhouse serve delicious Allpress Coffee and pastries, brekkie rolls, hearty porridge and other breakfast goodies in the morning. In winter it is really nice to grab a table inside by the fire, but on warmer days there are plenty of big tables outside in the sun under the tress."

"From toned surfers to boho babes, The Roadhouse is the place to see and be seen in Byron. This laid-back, yet trendy cafe offers a menu filled with vegetarian options. It boasts wholesome and nutritious options, which are curated from ingredients that are sourced and foraged locally."

"St. Elmo Dining Room & Bar serves up contemporary Spanish tapas dishes perfect to share with that special someone. The innovative, ever-changing menu is inspired by the region’s fresh and flavoursome produce. Plus, with more than 100, carefully curated bottles of wine, St. Elmo offers one of the finest culinary experiences in their relaxed yet intimate dining room."
