Byron Bay

Anything goes in Byron Bay. This town would love to have its own passport control to prevent entry to anyone who is remotely conservative or thinks surfing is something you do in front of a computer. Only three decades ago ‘Byron’ was little more than a sleepy, attractive coastal enclave. Few strayed off the main highway heading north except a few alternative lifestylers who found it an ideal escape and the land prices wonderfully cheap. But news spread and its popularity exploded. It lacks the glitz of the Gold Coast and the conformity of many other coastal resorts, but there is little doubt it is perilously close to the level of popularity that can turn to a love-it-or-hate-it experience. Despite all this, however, it remains a beautiful place (no high-rise hotels here) and boasts a wonderfully cosmopolitan mix of humanity. Few people leave disappointed.
