There’s ultralight flights and sea kayaking out with the dolphins. You can take a surfing lesson (you might surprise yourself), parachute out of a plane, horse ride, bike ride, snorkel, scuba dive at our Julian Rocks Marine park reserve, play a round of golf; do yoga, pilates, singing, dancing, acting and much more!
On one hand it has, historically, been associated with the alternative lifestyle movement of the 1970s and seen as a kind of interesting hippie retreat in northern NSW. On another level it has been seen as a very upmarket get-away-from-it-all retreat for wealthy southerners not wanting to mix with the hoi polloi who inhabit more vulgar coastal townships like Coolangatta and Tweed Heads. Sleep was calling loudly so we meandered back via the road (not a patch on the beach walk) and collapsed into our room. Belongil Beachouse was not the romantic beach oasis we imagined and our room was simply a let down. Your body, specifically your face and neck, will benefit immensely from this process.
It’s also the place on the north coast for whale watching from June to September. Rather ironic, given that before its closure in 1962, the Byron Bay Whaling Station was one of four on the east coast catching and processing whales during the migration. Good views of humpback whales on their migration up the coast to Hervey Bay can be seen from the cape in July and on their return in September.
Located just 2.5 kilometres from Byron Bay, one of Australia’s most popular travel destinations, the Julian Rocks Marine Park is rated as one of the top ten scuba diving locations anywhere in Australia. The mixing of tropical warm currents with cooler temperate waters makes the diving around Byron Bay unique.
