Byron Bay is located
on the northern coast
of NSW in the Northern
Rivers region, just
off the Pacific Highway,
about 800kms north of
Sydney and about 175kms
south of Brisbane.
Byron Bay is a favourite spot for backpackers and those seeking somewhere as a retreat. It's a perfect spot to soak up the natural environment and enjoy beach walks and restaurants for all tastes and budgets
Byron Bay is small and compact, so finding one's way around is easy. The railway station and bus stop are adjacent to the Byron Visitor Centre. Byron Bay is a town replete with accommodation, but it is not necessarily cheap, since demand keeps up well with, and sometimes even outstrips, supply. Even backpackers accommodation tends to be rather more expensive than one might expect. This small town caters very much to the backpacker market, so there are pubs, and a multitude of different and mostly moderately priced food establishments
