Byron Bay is famed for its location as the Easternmost point of mainland Australia. A small, coastal town that was previously more of a sleepy, countryside type place, it has seen significant development over recent years and has become a popular tourist destination combining cosmopolitan, chic cafes and restaurants with the inherent natural beauty of the nearby beaches and the surrounding greenness of the nearby mountains and lush national parks. The town's centre is laid out first along the coast and then branches off towards the South, extending past both national park and swamp nature reserve areas.
The most famous icon of Byron Bay is undoubtedly its lighthouse, which draws thousands of tourists a year and can be accessed with a walk or ride down the aptly-named Lighthouse Road.
