Tips from the Community

February 27, 2026, Cape Byron Lighthouse

Cape Byron Lighthouse is a heritage-listed lighthouse built in 1901, standing on the headland at Australia’s easternmost point. The white concrete tower and surrounding keeper’s cottages are characteristic of the region’s coastal navigation history. It remains an active aid to navigation and is one of the most recognisable landmarks on the New South Wales coast.

Cape Byron is the easternmost headland on mainland Australia and a standout section of the Cape Byron Walking Track Circuit. From here, there are sweeping views across coastal cliffs and open ocean, making it a perfect place to pause to take in expansive seascapes as the track rounds the exposed headland.

Great view of Byron Bay. If you're lucky, you can spot whales passing by.

We went up to the lighthouse at 5am for the sunrise at 6am. Better to stay ok the street because of animals in the dark… we started at Backpackers Inn, so depending on where you are staying at, it might take longer.
