Most Easterly Point of Mainland Australia
Easterly Point
A reef platform below the lighthouse marked 'Australia's Most Easterly Point,' a must-stop photo spot in Byron Bay.
The Most Easterly Point lies just below the northeast side of Cape Byron Lighthouse. From the lighthouse, follow the path down for about 5 minutes to a sign at the end of a timber boardwalk, with the Pacific churning below. It is a popular sunrise spot, and in winter and spring you can often see whales and dolphins up close. Admission is free. The reef rocks are slippery and the waves can be strong, so never climb over the railing onto the rocks. Sunrise crowds are heavy, so arrive half an hour early.
