Bangalow
A century-old village 15 minutes inland from Byron Bay, with preserved Federation-era timber shopfronts, known for its markets, restaurants and home-goods shops.
Bangalow lies in the hills about 14 km southwest of Byron Bay. Byron Street, the main street, is lined with well-preserved early-20th-century timber shopfronts, now home to antique shops, interior design stores and boutique restaurants. The Bangalow Markets, held on the fourth Sunday of each month, are among the most popular markets in the Northern Rivers region, and a farmers' market runs on Saturday mornings. You can also visit the small Heritage House museum. There is no convenient bus, so drive or take a taxi (about 15 minutes); parking is tight on weekends.
Opening hours
