Destination Overview

Sun, surf, relaxation and creativity – these are the worlds synonymous with the name Byron Bay, a laid-back tourist mecca that's one of Australia's top destinations for local and overseas visitors.  

  The appeal for Byron Bay holidays comes from those looking to experience a heady mix of beach indulgences, cultural intrigue, and some of the best nightlife Australia has to offer. Captain Cook thought it was worthy of a visit way back in 1770 and for decades now many writers, artists, filmmakers and other creative individuals have made Byron Bay their home.     While relatively balmy enough all year around, Byron Bay becomes nothing less than a tourist idyll in the summer months where you will be forgiven for thinking the population is twice the size it actually is. People on holiday in Byron Bay include couples looking for a romantic getaway, groups of friends looking for fun and adventure, those looking to rejuvenate the spirit, and families looking for a location that will please everyone.

  A natural amusement park, Byron Bay offers sights and activities galore, with something to pique the interests of the most august culture lover right through to the gnarliest of surfer dudes. Nature lovers choosing a holiday to Byron Bay will get their fix of all things sun and sand, and can take their pick from natural delights including pristine beaches lapped by rolling waves, the arcing tails of huge whales, the lush and fragrant local flora, and the binocular-worthy native fauna. Sporty types will pass their Byron Bay holidays surfing, swimming, diving, and cycling, while arts and culture lovers will find themselves thumbing through thick lists outlining the array of festivals, events, retreats, and exhibitions that occur in Byron Bay throughout the year.

When it comes to wining, dining, and setting your head to rest, Byron Bay Holidays don’t disappoint. This on-the-pulse city boasts an impressive array of global eats ranging from cheap snacks to fine dining, and its bars run the gamut from your casual and familiar corner pub to up-market lounges serving up some of Australia's best vino and brews. Accommodation options abound: whether you’re in need of somewhere to pitch your tent or a pitcher for your champagne, you’ll find it in Byron Bay.

Byron Bay might be positioned about as far east as it's possible to get while still being on Australian shores, but it's not difficult to reach. With the Gold Coast International Airport and the Ballina Byron Gateway just forty minutes away, and the trip from Brisbane International taking just under an hour and a half, Byron Bay's famous lighthouse will be in sight before anyone gets around to asking “are we there yet?”

Byron Bay

Located on the far north coast of New South Wales, the town of Byron Bay stands at the centre of a region of beautiful beaches, striking coastline, lush rainforests, rolling hills and spectacular waterfalls.  

There are quaint local villages, relaxed coastal enclaves and the colourful, wonderfully diverse township of Byron Bay itself. It’s an eclectic region where visitors will be welcomed all year round. Whatever time of year you visit, we expect you’ll be greeted with plenty of sunshine, but just like the weather Australia-wide, there’s no guarantee. What we can say, is that if you’re looking for somewhere to immerse yourself in nature, discover fascinating arts and entertainment, savour fine dining, enjoy great shopping and indulge in a rejuvenating spa treatment, then it’s always a great time to visit Byron Bay.

  Byron Bay enjoys a subtropical climate with hot, wet summers and mild, dry winters. The summer months are December, January and February, with February tending to be the hottest and most humid. Winters are generally mild with clear blue skies and low humidity.   The average maximum temperature ranges from around 19 degrees in mid-July to 27 or 28 degrees in January and February. Minimum temperatures average around 11 degrees in mid-winter and 20 degrees in the height of summer. That means plenty of sunshine to get out and about and explore the wonders of the beautiful Byron Bay region.  

  If visiting during summer, you should be lucky enough to strike wonderfully hot days for swimming, snorkelling, kayaking, or taking part in any of the myriad of wonderful outdoor activities on offer. Dining al fresco overlooking the bustling main street or rolling surf is highly recommended, especially in the evening when you’ll hopefully be greeting by a cooling breeze.   Bushwalking can be enjoyed at any time of the year, but is often more pleasurable in the cooler months. As elsewhere in Australia, if you are going to be spending time in the sun, pack your sunscreen and drink plenty of water. The sun can be strong all year round and sunburn is never a nice addition to any holiday.

  Rainfall fluctuates throughout the year, with the driest month tending to be September. If visiting between February and May, be sure to pack your umbrella as these months often experience the highest rate of rainfall. If rain strikes during your stay, be assured there’s still plenty to do.   Fossick through the shops in Jonson Street, take in a classic or art-house film at the Piggery cinema, or enjoy a long, leisurely meal at one of the top restaurants in town or in the hinterland region. Rain also makes a great excuse (as if you needed one) to drop into a day spa for a facial, massage or other rejuvenating treatment. If it keeps raining, that’s just more time to be massaging your everyday stresses away.

  The Byron Bay lighthouse is an iconic landmark of the region that marks the most easterly point in mainland Australia. It’s also been a site where weather data has been collated for around 30 years. According to readings collected here, September averages just over 6 days of rain, and March, just over 13.   That still means plenty of rain free days. August is the least humid month, February likely to cause the most perspiration. June is the windiest month with September the least blustery. The lighthouse is probably the best known landmark of the Byron Bay region and is definitely worth visiting to discover its commanding views.
