Byron Bay Lighthouse

The Cape Byron Lighthouse in Byron Bay is an active, heritage-listed lighthouse located at the easternmost point of the Australian mainland. Operating since 1901, it was built to guide ships along a historically hazardous section of coastline. The lighthouse precinct offers expansive ocean views, a visitor centre and a nearby café, and is surrounded by walking tracks within the Cape Byron Headland Reserve. The area is known for its coastal scenery and regular wildlife sightings, including dolphins and migrating whales. It remains one of Byron Bay’s most significant historical and natural landmarks.
