We\u2019ve done some of the hard work for you, rounding up some of the best spots to go hiking in Byron Bay.<\/p>\n\n
Don’t miss: The best swimming spots in Byron Bay<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Have you even been to Byron if you haven\u2019t snapped a selfie in front of the iconic Cape Byron Lighthouse? You will find some of the best of what Byron has to offer along the 3.7-kilometre walk: from sun-drenched beaches to coastal rainforest and soaring views. There are also cafes along the way where you can stop and fuel up on pancakes and piccolos.<\/p>\n\n You can extend the walk \u2013 and burn off those calories \u2013 by starting at Clarke\u2019s Beach, walking along the sand to The Pass, joining the Palm Valley track until you go over the cliffs to Wategos Beach before joining the track to the lighthouse. This is not a pram-friendly walk; there are a lot of stairs. While the road from Byron Bay runs right to the back of Wategos Beach, it can get very crowded and parking is extremely limited.<\/p>\n You will find all of Byron’s best bits along this iconic track.<\/p><\/div>\n Slather yourself in 50-plus to walk to and fro along Tallow Beach,<\/a> which curves for about seven kilometres between the Cape Byron Conservation Area and Broken Head Nature Reserve. The beach, just 3.2 kilometres from the heart of Byron Bay, is part of Arawkal National Park and one of the only places that matter when there\u2019s big surf.<\/p>\n\n In the early mornings, when the birds are singing, and the horizon looks like it\u2019s covered in a layer of gauze you will see the ghostly silhouettes of fishermen casting their lines out to sea. The dog-friendly section of the beach stretches from a point adjacent to Jarman Street to the boundary of the national park.<\/p>\n Walk Tallow Beach at sunset.<\/p><\/div>\n The starting point for the Three Sisters Walking Track<\/a> is at the southern end of the picnic area at Broken Head Nature Reserve. The easy 1.6-kilometre walk has gentle hills, and a few steps that will steer you through the emerald-green rainforest with carpets of moss to a lookout over Broken Head and the secluded Kings Beach.<\/p>\n\n The area is rich in Indigenous history, which you can read about on the clearly signposted walk, which tells the story of the three sisters who were turned into rocky outcrops near the headland. In winter and spring, the walk offers great vantage points to spot whales and watch for white-bellied sea eagles spearing into the sea for food.<\/p>\n The Three Sisters Walking Track traverses 1.6-kilometres.<\/p><\/div>\n Don’t miss: Top 10 things to do in Byron Bay<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s not just the coastal walks that boast epic scenery around Byron Bay. Head to the hinterland and you will find a range of trails \u2013 from the tranquil to the well-trodden. The World-Heritage-listed\u00a0Nightcap National Park<\/a>\u00a0is home to the distinctive curved silhouette of the ancient volcano, Wollumbin\/Mount Warning, which rises above the landscape. Book a\u00a0Hinterland Magic and Glow-worm Experience<\/a>\u00a0and you will be led to a tunnel lit up by the luminescent beetles. The tour also winds its way to a waterfall for a swim and to a rainforest temple hidden in the hinterland.<\/p>\n See the glow worms of Nightcap national park.<\/p><\/div>\n Lennox Head is a 30-minute drive away from Byron and worth the detour to enjoy more great views of sky and sea. Do as Lennox Head locals do on the daily and walk to the top of Lennox Point, known locally as \u2018The Point\u2019. The path is very prominent as it hugs the coast and follows the shoreline. Head south, past groves of pandanus palms, until you reach Pat Morton Lookout which passes the point break, where you will see talented local surfers all lined up waiting to conquer the next wave.<\/p>\n\n The views from the Lennox Head lookout span north across Lennox Head and Seven Mile Beach and south to Rocky Point and Boulders Beach and Skennars Head and, if you\u2019re lucky, you might spot the resident dolphins who also like to surf the waves.<\/p>\nSnap a selfie along the Cape Byron walking track<\/h2>\n
