When the sun rises over the Pacific Ocean, Byron Bay is the first piece of Australian coast that the light touches, waking a community of soul searchers, sun seekers, wave chasers and mindful meditators. Sitting at the town’s easternmost point, the iconic lighthouse oversees Byron Bay’s natural abundance, from the white sandy beaches to the mountains of the hinterland, the waterfalls and the verdant valleys between them. Byron Bay, part of the Bundjalung Nation, is also home to a national park that encompasses two miles of pristine coastline, a haven for migratory birds and animals, protected and tended by the indigenous Arakwal people and embraced by a culture that reaches through time.
The pull of Byron Bay is undeniable, over the decades luring surfers, bohemians, healers, creatives and celebrities, each in tune with the daily rhythms of nature and contributing to the DNA of Byron Bay. The town’s unique spirit of entrepreneurship has attracted enterprising artisans and others looking to experiment with alternative business concepts.
