TOURING
*Cape Byron Lighthouse and walk. There are a few routes to walk up, some more difficult than others. However, if you don’t feel comfortable doing the walk and just want to see the lighthouse and the spectacular view from the Cape, you can drive instead, and then it’s only a short walk from the lighthouse carpark.
