So, Byron Bay is one of the more famous tourist spots in Australia. It’s popular for its good surf and laid back vibe. It’s one of those places where people plan to go for a few days, but end up staying for weeks (or even years). Well, I couldn’t wait to get out of there.
Byron Bay was not for me*. But I’ll save that story until later and just share a few photos from our visit to the nearby lighthouse.
The lighthouse is situated at Cape Byron, the most easterly point of mainland Australia. The view of the ocean is gorgeous and if you’re lucky you just might see a few dolphins swimming in the surf.
There also happened to be a lone goat on the premises. I’m not sure if he’s the resident lawnmower or just visiting the sites like the rest of us.
xo, jill
*It was able to redeem itself a few months later, but just barely.
Oh no! Was it the over priced ‘hippy’ fashion? Do elaborate one day…
Too bad, I loved Byron Bay! Did you go to Agnes Water or 1770? Much better!
Very interested to hear about why BB did not work for you! It is always interesting to hear about places that are much touted/beloved but that fall flat due to personal preferences. We felt this way about Stanley when we were in Hong Kong – it is really hyped by guidebooks and tourists, but when we got there, it was so overly sanitized that it didn’t feel like it was in Hong Kong at all! Definitely our cuppa!
We just passed them on the highway! Planning on stopping for a few days on our way back down.
Well, I can’t really blame Byron Bay…it was more the clientele!
