One of the region’s most jaw-dropping destinations: Minyon Falls. Surrounded by ancient rainforests in Nightcap National Park, the waterfall plunges roughly 100-metres over jarring rhyolite cliffs that were once part of the Tweed Volcano. This hinterland gem is part of Byron Bay’s must-see nature.
You can choose from an easier, two-hour return walk to Minyon Grass picnic area or the longer, hard-grade 4-5-hour Minyon Loop Walking Track. The Minyon Grass option takes you to the base of the Falls while the 7.5-km Minyon Loop Walking Track winds through dense rainforest and fern-flanked creeks before arriving at the iconic plunge falls. Either way: be prepared for a fairly steep climb out!
While the waterfall itself is an impressive sight, especially after a big rain, the panoramic views from the lookout are just as spectacular. Look directly below (if you don’t suffer from vertigo!) as the water cascades down solidified lava into a deep gorge. On a clear day, you can see all the way to the coast.
This area was once part of the Big Scrub, which was once the largest area of subtropical lowland rainforest in eastern Australia. Today, less than one percent remains as fragmented remnants scattered across 75,000 hectares between the towns of Byron Bay, Ballina and Lismore. Look out for the old-growth brush box trees, situated on the western side of Repentance Creek, and you’ll get a glimpse of this ancient ecosystem.
WEATHER
Nightcap National Park receives the highest annual rainfall in NSW, so check local weather conditions and pack suitable clothes, insect repellent, plenty of water, a hat and sunscreen. We also suggest bringing something to take your rubbish away in.
ACCESS
The area is fully wheelchair accessible, including the lookout, picnic area and toilets. The Park is open sunrise to sunset but may have to close at times due to poor weather or fire danger.
VISION WALKS
Experience a two-hour guided walk through the rainforest, which includes transport to and from Elements, as well as lunch.
INDIGENOUS HISTORY
Nightcap National Park, which is part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area, is the traditional land of the Bundjalung People, in particular the Widjabul People who for thousands of years have called this area home. The Park contains many ancient sites of cultural significance, including ceremonial and sacred sites that are still used by local Aboriginal people today.
HOW TO GET THERE
Driving southwards onto Pacific Highway just south of Byron Bay exit, at the top of the hill, turn right onto Coolamon Scenic Drive. Follow this winding road, which turns into Coorabell Road, past Keys Bridge, before turning right at the tennis courts onto Federal Road. Turn left onto Repentance Creek Road, then head west along this road and across Byangerry Creek crossing.
Continue over Coopers Creek crossing, turn right onto Upper Coopers Creek Road, and then left onto Minyon Falls Road. Continue along this road past Wren’s Nest Cafe, to the entrance of Nightcap National Park, and onto Minyon Drive, where you can follow park signs.

Main Beach, Byron Bay
Main BeachFrom north to south, the beaches in Byron Bay include; Belongil Beach, Main Beach, Clarkes Beach, The Pass, Wategos Beach and Tallow Beach.
Diving and surfing
1) THE PASS
A 10-minute drive from Sunrise Loft.
Park at: Large car park located next to The Pass Café, just off Lighthouse Road.
Great for: consistent surf that’ll suit any surfer.
Without a doubt, the Pass is one of the busiest and best-known surf spots along the Byron coastline – if not the whole of Australia.
It’s an iconic surf break with big swells, consistent sets and long, peeling right-hand waves. The best surf arrives at low-to-mid tide with a south-southwesterly wind and east-southeasterly swell, but it’s rarely lacking decent waves.
The waters at The Pass are normally busy, particularly in popular holiday seasons, hosting all levels of surfers. Long-boarders are drawn here in particular, travelling huge distances on waves that break at right-angles to the beach.
This small corner of the beach, tucked between Clarkes Beach and Fisherman’s Lookout is a hive of activity both in and out of the water. Be careful of the numerous swimmers that share the surf and the dive boats coming and going from Julian Rocks.
2) TALLOW BEACH
A 13-minute drive from Sunrise loft.
Park at: Tallow Beach car park at the end of Tallow Beach Road.
Great for: reliable surf when the rest of Byron’s flat.
‘Tallows’ is a popular point break for expert surfers, especially short-boarders, tucked under the south side of Cape Byron.
When the waves are quieter elsewhere in Byron, there’s a strong chance of finding great surf along this 3.2km stretch. Cosy Corner is the best spot when a northerly’s blowing, located at the often-deserted northern end of Tallow Beach.
The best surf at Tallows arrives with a southeasterly swell when the wind comes from the northwest.
But be aware: conditions here can be unpredictable with plenty of strong rips. It’s also largely unpatrolled, so not a place to head if you’re new to surfing.
To see what Tallows can offer you, check out this video of Tallow Beach from the sky.
Video credit: David Trewern, Vimeo
3) BROKEN HEAD BEACH
A 20-minute drive from Sunrise loft.
Park at: The picnic area at the end of Broken Head Reserve Road.
Great for: cranking right-hand point breaks for experienced surfers.
Broken Head Beach is home to an iconic—and massively underrated—surf break, featuring on most surfers’ Byron Bay wish lists.
On a good day, Broken Head can be very good indeed with fast and hollow right-hand point-breaks on offer. It’s best surfed rising and falling tides with a south-southwesterly wind and an east-southeasterly swell.
The surf does tend to be less consistent here than at The Pass or Tallows. Before heading down to the short bush track that accesses the beach, take a look at the latest conditions.
Like Tallow Beach, it’s largely unpatrolled so best left to more experienced surfers. Busy on weekends, you can have the surf to yourself most weekdays.
Brunswick Heads Beach
4) BRUNSWICK HEADS BEACH
18-minute drive from Elements of Byron
Park at: Along South Beach Road or grab a park in Brunswick Heads village.
Great for: expert surfers confident among strong rips.
On the southern side of the break wall in the village of Brunswick Heads is an exposed 10km stretch of sand that sweeps south to the Elements resort.
The strong currents and big swell here create consistent good surf and, with a south-westerly wind, occasional brilliant surf, as this surfing video shows. And as one of Byron’s quieter surf spots, you’ll rarely have to wait your turn or jump off early to avoid others paddling out.
This is not a break to suit novices though. Strong rips are common and there’s a hard-to-spot sandbank that runs down its entire length.
‘Bruns’ is patrolled throughout the summer by the local surf club and there’s plenty to enjoy over the bridge in the village when the surf’s not pumping.
5) BELONGIL BEACH
In front of "Elements resort".
Great for: powerful right-handers popular with non-novice surfers.
At the southern end of Belongil Beach is a popular surf spot known as ‘The Wreck’.
Waves here break right and left around 10m in front of the shipwreck that’s sticking out of the water. The SS Wollongbar sank here in 1922 and has been forming the sandbank that delivers great waves ever since.
It’s best surfed at mid-to-high tide with a west-southeasterly wind and a north-northeast swell.
In calm conditions, The Wreck is also one of Byron’s best places for snorkelling and diving along with Julian Rocks. Belongil’s also a great place to catch the sunrise, as anyone who’s done yoga at Element’s First Light Club will tell you.
6) CLARKES BEACH
A 12-minute drive from Sunrise loft.
Park at: Clarkes Beach car park off Lighthouse Road ($4/hour 9am-6pm daily).
Great for: beginners and body surfers.
Our last two beaches are gentler options, great for novices, long-boarders and paddleboarders.
With its gentle waves and long sandbank, Clarkes Beach is popular with swimmers, snorkelers and novice surfers. If you’re taking your first surf lesson in Byron Bay, chances are it’ll happen here.
Be aware that, strong rips develop in a northerly, making this surf dangerous for novices. These conditions arrive mostly during winter, with conditions staying consistent throughout much of the summer.
Afternoon surfers byron bay
7) WATEGOS BEACH
A 15-minute drive from Sunrise loft
Park at: Wategos has limited parking spaces; more available at The Pass or Cape Byron Lighthouse car parks.
Great for: long-boarders and paddle boarders.
Our final beach is a secluded haven located just west of the Cape Byron headland.
Wategos is loved by long-boarders and paddle boarders as the waves tend to be fuller, slower and even longer than around the corner at The Pass. And like Clarkes Beach, Wategos is a great place for beginners.
When a south-southeasterly’s blowing, Wategos can deliver great surf for every length of board with right-hand point-breaks arriving around the Cape.
Note that Wategos is a small beach so, if the conditions look good, head out early before it gets overcrowded. And in bad weather, it’s best to avoid this one as the waves here can get very choppy.
