Welcome to your first day in Byron Bay! Get ready to soak in the laid-back vibes, golden beaches, and vibrant culture that make this coastal town a dream destination. Here’s how to ease into your adventure:
Morning: Cruise Through Town and Beaches
Start your day by hopping on one of our retro-style e-bikes and exploring the town’s charming streets. Byron Bay is a haven for eclectic shops, quirky boutiques, and relaxed cafes. Take it slow and let the town’s personality reveal itself as you cruise through.
Make your way to Byron’s iconic beaches. Begin at Clarkes Beach, where gentle waves and crystal-clear waters invite you for a dip. Then head towards Main Beach, the beating heart of Byron. Take in the stunning views of the ocean while you ride along the coastal paths. Keep your camera handy—you might spot dolphins playing in the surf!
Afternoon: Recharge at a Local Cafe
By now, you’ve earned a little break. Stop at one of Byron’s beloved cafes for a leisurely lunch. Whether it’s a hearty poke bowl, a fresh smoothie, or a locally roasted coffee, you’ll find something to suit your mood. Some local favorites include Bayleaf Cafe and The Top Shop, perfect for a laid-back meal with plenty of people-watching.
Evening: Sunset Vibes at Main Beach
As the afternoon rolls into evening, make your way to the Main Beach Carpark for one of Byron’s most iconic experiences: sunset watching. Join locals and visitors as the sky transforms into a canvas of fiery oranges and soft pinks. Surfers can be seen catching waves at The Wreck, their silhouettes against the glowing horizon.
Adding to the magic, you’ll often hear the rhythmic beats of a drum circle nearby. The energy is infectious, inviting you to clap along, dance, or simply relax and take it all in.

After the sun dips below the horizon, head to the Beach Hotel, a Byron Bay institution, for a drink and live music. The Beach Hotel’s atmosphere is the perfect blend of laid-back and lively, making it an ideal spot to soak in Byron’s nightlife.
For dinner, treat yourself to some of the town’s famous Mexican fare. Byron is home to several fantastic Mexican restaurants, such as Chupacabra or Miss Margarita, where you can indulge in zesty tacos, fresh ceviche, and margaritas to cap off the evening.
