Cape
Byron is the easternmost
point on mainland Australia
and it has a strong influence
on marine currents and
marine life in the park.
Humpback whales travel
close to shore around
Cape Byron on their annual
migrations. The park
is also renowned for
its dolphins, seabirds,
turtles and corals. Several
coastal nature reserves,
Arakwal National Park
and Cape Byron State
Conservation Area adjoin
the marine park.
The Cape
Byron Lighthouse has
stood on the most easterly
point of the Australian
mainland for a century,
and today you can take
a tour of the tower.
The rugged headland,
surrounded by sheltered
rainforest gullies and
subtropical waters, is
a great spot for watching
turtles, dolphins and
humpback whales on their
annual migration.
