Cape Byron Lighthouse, situated on Australia's most easterly point, offers stunning panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding coastline. The site is generally accessible, with paved pathways leading to the lighthouse, though the tower itself has stairs. While a solo visit is rewarding, guided tours provide historical context and insights into the lighthouse's operation. Whale watching is a popular activity from May to November. Entry to the grounds is free, but there's a small fee to enter the lighthouse. Allow approximately 1-2 hours for a visit. Parking can be limited, especially during peak season.
