💡 Tips
- Walk to the Cape Byron Lighthouse at sunrise to be among the first in Australia to see the dawn.
- Parking in the town center is very expensive and hard to find; rent a bicycle to get around easily.
- Always swim between the red and yellow flags at Main Beach, as unpatrolled areas often have strong, dangerous rip currents.
- Book restaurants well in advance, especially during the busy summer months and holiday weekends.
- Embrace the local eco-friendly culture by bringing a reusable coffee cup; many cafes offer discounts.
