Full disclosure: it\u2019s also my hometown, so I am, of course, very biased. I get asked <em>a lot<\/em> where to stay, eat, and what to do, so here it is: my guide to Byron Bay. With direct flights from <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/visiting-singapore-the-go-to-visitors-list-of-things-to-do-in-singapore\/%23tx3dwGZqzBgWAuHh.97\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Singapore<\/a> to the Gold Coast (and a 45-minute drive away), it\u2019s an easy long-weekend from Singapore (or <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/where-to-stay-in-sydney-and-melbourne-australia-cool-accommodation-for-a-family-getaway-from-singapore\/%23XlWD6ykx9rRIOFmG.97\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Sydney<\/a>).

You betcha<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>The beaches<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Byron Bay packs a punch when it comes to natural beauty. Because of Cape Byron (Australia\u2019s most Eastern point), there are about seven different golden beaches to explore \u2013 some very protected from the Southern wind, while some protected from the North. So, there is almost, <em>always<\/em> a perfect surfbreak for every level of surfer. Tip: my personal favourite is The Pass; it has a great caf\u00e9, a scenic walk, gentle beginner waves, as well as shade in the summer. There is also a stunning national park on the cape (which you can access from The Pass) and a walking track up to the Byron lighthouse, which is fabulous in summer, spring and autumn, and also great for whale-watching in the winter.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The food<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Okay, this is going to be lengthy. The food is <em>amazing<\/em>. Fresh produce, creative chefs and a seriously cool vibe means this little town packs a culinary punch.

Hire a sportscar for that ultimate driver experience.<\/p>\n<p>A must-stop is the very popular town of Bangalow, well known for its historical village feel and its famous pork (found on menus across Australia). Go on a Saturday to catch the local farmers markets, and on the fourth Sunday of the month, the larger community market is on \u2013 you will find produce, along with clothes, jewellery, arts and crafts, plants and homewares.<\/p>\n<p>After a short drive along Coloman Scenic from Bangalow, you will find the one-street town of Federal, which has fabulous Japanese (believe it or not!). Federal offers a very pretty setting for morning or afternoon tea (and a sushi roll) or cup of coffee. I\u2019m also a big fan of the beautiful gardens and hippy vibes of Crystal Castle, just a few minutes further down the road.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_114053\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-114053\" style=\"width: 930px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-114053 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/d22ir9aoo7cbf6.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/10\/Mister-Zimi.jpg\" alt=\"Mister Zimi\" width=\"930\" height=\"550\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 930px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 930\/550;\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-114053\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mister Zimi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>The shopping<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you are a lover of <a href=\"https:\/\/misterzimi.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Mister Zimi<\/a>, the gypsy-inspired <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.spelldesigns.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Spell<\/a>, or furniture and homeware designers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.popandscott.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Pop and Scott<\/a>, you are in luck \u2013 they have all retail stores in Byron.
