The Cape Byron Lighthouse has stood on the most easterly point of the Australian mainland for a century, and today you can take a tour of the tower. The rugged headland, surrounded by sheltered rainforest gullies and subtropical waters, is a great spot for watching turtles, dolphins and humpback whales on their annual migration.

The magnificent clifftop walking track winds its way through diverse plant communities, offering panoramic views of the ocean and north coast hinterland. Tour Cape Byron Lighthouse, or even stay in the lighthouse keeper's quarters. You can tour Cape Byron Lighthouse and even stay the night in the lighthouse keeper's quarters.
