history, you will no doubt agree that surrounding views are equally
fascinating.




While Byron Bay is a place to relax and enjoy lazy holidays, there
are heaps of adventure sports for those who love some extreme fun while
on holiday. Try some horse riding on the beach, skydive above Byron bay,
do some scuba diving, get a bird’s eye view of Byron while on a hot air
balloon ride and for those who must have retail therapy, there are
heaps of opportunities too. Enjoy the many galleries and weekend markets
and obviously get pampered in one of the many day spas and get yourself
treated to a magical beauty treatment.


When
you need a break from the beach fun in Byron, you should travel north
to Brunswick Heads yet another spectacular holiday destination. The
walking track through the rainforest in Brunswick Heads Nature Reserve
will offer you the unique opportunity to spot and marvel the migrating
birds from north and the south which treat the area as a resting point
during their journey. The amazing Cape Byron Marine Park is a safe haven
for many marine species and you are sure to love exploring the stunning
nature when you are here.  Your next stop should be the Crystal Castle a
bit further inland displaying Australia’s largest hand carved stone
Buddha statue, various other statues of varying religious significance,
jewellery and natural crystals.




Accommodation options are plenty to meet all budgets and needs. So why not book one of the Byron Bay accommodation cabins or a Brunswick Heads caravan park for your stay?
