Relax at the beach

Byron Bay is known for its beautiful stretch of coastline. One of the most iconic beaches in the city is Main Beach. It's located across from the town centre, and it's the perfect place to spend a few hours enjoying the sun or learning how to surf. If you've booked flights to Byron Bay before or you want to escape the crowds, visit Belongli and The Wreck beach while you're in town.

Visit Arakwal National Park

Arakwal National Park is a beautiful piece of land that you can explore. Inside the park's boundaries, you'll find a beach, sand dunes and a forest to wander around. There are a few walking tracks, and you should keep an eye out for the native wildlife and migratory birds.

 

What Are The Best Cafes and Restaurants in Byron Bay?

Main Street Burger Bar

Byron Bay is a haven for vegan travellers booking return flights to Byron Bay. However, there are a few spots for meat lovers around town that don't disappoint. One of the best places to get a burger in Byron Bay is Main Street Burger Bar. If you are vegetarian or vegan, you can order the energy bowl with tofu.

Treehouse

Treehouse is located behind Belongil Beach. Its decor is a mix of 1970s furniture, and the venue has live music on most nights of the week. If your flights to Byron Bay arrive in the late afternoon, you should make dinner reservations here as the bands won't start until after 8pm.

The restaurant is quite popular, so if you don't want to wait for a table, you should phone ahead to make a reservation.

When Is The Best Time to Visit With Cheap Flights to Byron Bay?

The best time to visit Byron Bay is between September to November. The quiet spring months are ideal for travellers searching for cheap flights to Byron Bay. The only thing you'll need to plan around is the school holidays at the end of September. Another time to be mindful of is November and December, as Byron Bay is a popular Schoolies destination. Prices for airfare to Byron Bay and hotels soar over this short period. The lack of crowds means you won't have to fight for a space on the beach, a hotel room or a parking space. In the summer months (December to February), you'll have a much harder time trying to find deals on tickets to Byron Bay. The perfect beach weather means this laidback coastal town becomes a tourist hotspot and you'll need to book your flights to Byron Bay and accommodation well in advance. Low season in Byron Bay is the winter months. From June to August, the town empties out, and the weather isn't ideal for days at the beach or surfing lessons. However, if you're not looking for a beach holiday, you'll find that winter is the best time to find deals on flights to Byron Bay.
