Byron Bay is all about the surf vibe and this 60s/70s throwback bar-cum-nightclub has you covered into the small hours. The parties epitomize Byron's youthful exuberance but the decor is just as interesting. We loved checking out the signed surf memorabilia, old boards and artwork.
The town of Byron Bay and nearby Cape Byron are named after John Byron, a sailor. Fun fact #1: His nickname was "Foul-weather Jack" due to all the bad storms his ships tended to run into. Fun fact #2: He was a friend of Captain James Cook. Yes, that James Cook.
In Byron Bay, of course! It's sacrilegious to visit Byron Bay without enjoying these famous cookies. Make your way to Byron Bay Cookie Company and get a box of ANZAC biscuits, rosemary & sea salt crispbread and Christine Mansfield salted caramel popcorn.
