For a fun beach holiday, you don’t have many better choices than Byron Bay. With beautiful white sand beaches, fantastic surfing, and gorgeous rainforests minutes outside of town, Byron is famous for its laid back lifestyle. You’ll love the relaxing accommodations here, complete with luxury spas. If your hotel doesn’t have the treatment you’re looking for, you’re sure to find it at one of the healing centers in town.

Of course, not everyone is here to relax. There’s also a ton of adventure sports, as well as a variety of exciting shopping and entertainment. Byron is also known as a center for backpackers looking for the ultimate party. Perhaps more than any other town on the East Coast, Byron epitomizes the backpacking culture of great nightlife, sun and surf, and opportunity for exciting adventure. Byron Bay has some of the best hostels in the world, and it seems like new backpacker lodges seem to sprout up everyday.
One of the main reasons Byron is so popular is the quality of its beaches. The surfing is out of this world, but you’ll also find great scuba diving at Julian Rocks, complete with nurse sharks and loggerhead turtles. You’ll also have a shot at sopping whales as they migrate past during the summer.
