Whale Watching
A free and fun activity to do during the cooler winter months is whale watching. Byron Bay gives you a front row seat to catch sight of these beautiful creatures. We recommend heading to the historic Cape Byron Lighthouse for the best chance of spotting the whales. Alternatively, if you’re a big fan, you can take a whale watching tour. These guides are so confident that many Byron tours guarantee a sighting.

The six-person chef collective have added a short menu of dishes at Locur, inspired by their adventures in Latin america- tacos, corn, salsa. From a bar kitchen, food is only served until 8:30pm, however it is worth visiting to lose yourself in the early hours of the morning.

We can tell you that it’s definitely worth it from the panoramic views that reach from the ocean in the east to the rolling fields in the west.
