We\u2019re all about the travel life! Whether we\u2019re enjoying short trips from Hong Kong<\/a> over long weekends\u00a0or heading off on annual leave to exotic destinations like Dubai<\/a> or the North of Mauritius<\/a>, there\u2019s nothing quite like setting foot somewhere new. And if you haven\u2019t yet explored the vast expanse that is Australia yet, then we definitely suggest you do so, and not just because the founder of Honeycombers, Chris Edwards calls it home. She\u2019s even put together a handy local’s guide to Byron Bay, so you can explore the best bits.<\/p>\n

An essential guide to Byron Bay, Australia<\/h2>\n

After living in Singapore for 11 years we decided to move to the small coastal town of Byron Bay<\/a>, Australia.\u00a0Just south of the Gold Coast, Byron has an amazing combination of sheer natural beauty, incredible food, a wildly diverse creative community and so many undiscovered hidden gems (like it\u2019s own brewery and gin distillery). Easy to access from Hong Kong, many people have asked me for a guide to this area well known for its barefoot luxury – so here it is, the local\u2019s guide to Byron Bay.<\/p>\n

The community vibe<\/h3>\n
\"guide
Head Down Under, and experience the array of events happening in Byron Bay (Photography: The Bower Byron Bay via Facebook)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Byron allures hippies, yuppies, country folk, celebrities (and Instagram celebrities), entrepreneurs and tree-changers. The love of anti-development and anti-establishment is strong, as is the love for creatives, crafts and music.\u00a0There are some stand out events that happen in the local area where you can see this amazing community come alive – like the World Naked Byron Ride<\/a> (yes you read that correctly!), Splendor in the Grass, Bluesfest, The Falls Festival, The Byron Writers Festival, and the Old & Gold Festival – just to name a few.\u00a0If you can\u2019t make one of these events make sure you visit a local farmers’ market<\/a> – which happen every week – a great place to chat to the locals and see the kaleidoscope of the local community (my pick: Mullumbimby markets on a Friday morning). <\/p>\n

Guide to Byron Bay: Natural beauty<\/h2>\n

The beaches & coastal walks<\/h3>\n

Cape Byron is Australia\u2019s most easterly point, and with that it has a multitude of beaches facing north and east – a true surfers haven.\u00a0My favourite beach is The Pass – which is the one with the most gentle waves (perfect for beginners learning to surf<\/a>), it also has The Pass Cafe that serves a mean burger, and a stunning lookout where you can get a birds-eye view of the surfers below.<\/p>\n

Wategos is another must-visit beach – just around the corner from The Pass.\u00a0Take the nature path between the beaches and you\u2019ll enjoy amazing views from the top of the cliff. Continue along Wategos beach and follow the track up to the Byron Bay lighthouse, an easy walk (my three-year-old can do it – just sayin\u2019) where you can soak in the sea air and often spot a humpback whale in the cooler months (June-October).<\/p>\n

\"guide
Spend some time by the beach during your trip to Byron<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Clarkes Beach is another great place to spend a day. Go sea kayaking<\/a> where you will often see dolphins, turtles and the majestic humpback whales if the season is right.\u00a0Finish up with lunch at Beach Byron Bay<\/a> a casual restaurant right on the beach where you can enjoy the sea breeze and views out to Julian Rocks.<\/p>\n

Bush hikes & swimming holes<\/h3>\n

Byron is surrounded by World Heritage rainforests, and a multitude of walking trails. Before you go, grab a copy of Byron Trails<\/a>. We love visiting the amazing waterfalls and swimming holes in the area, like Killen Falls, Minyon Falls, Upper Wilsons Creek and Hells Hole – pack a picnic and get your nature fix.<\/p>\n

Guide to Byron Bay: Great Eats<\/h2>\n

No guide to Byron Bay would be complete without an eats section. Byron is well known as a foodie haven – so this could take a while!\u00a0Starting with my all star favourite cafes, this might be a long to-eat list…<\/p>\n

Amazing caf\u00e9s<\/h2>\n

Bayleaf<\/a><\/h3>\n
\"guide
Get your munch on at Bayleaf<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An iconic cafe with great breakfast and lunch fare and excellent locally roasted coffee.\u00a0In summer months, expect to wait for a table, but it\u2019s well worth the wait.<\/p>\n

Top Shop<\/a><\/h3>\n

Located in the \u2018golden grid\u2019, a few blocks back from Clarkes Beach, this laidback cafe is often so packed people sit on the nature strip to enjoy their standout burgers, sandwiches or salads.<\/p>\n

Combi<\/a><\/h3>\n

Organic, locally sourced, homemade and healthy – you\u2019ll spot Combi by the 1970s-style fringe umbrellas on the street.\u00a0We can\u2019t go past their juices, salads and healthy sweet treats that taste completely sinful.<\/p>\n

Folk<\/a><\/h3>\n
\"guide
Chill out at Folk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Organic, ethical and plant-based is Folk\u2019s catch cry.\u00a0We not only love it for these reasons, but it\u2019s vibe and slightly offbeat location also make it a must-eat, must-experience while you are in town.<\/p>\n

Barrio<\/a><\/h3>\n

Located at Habitat<\/a> a retail and business precinct of Byron Bay (which is another great shopping excursion), Barrio is a neighbourhood restaurant with a modern industrial feel. We love their salads and their service. <\/p>\n

The Farm<\/a><\/h3>\n
\"guide
The Farm is the perfect spot for kids to spend time visiting the animals<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Grow, feed, educate, give back is the catch cry of The Farm.\u00a0This is a working farm where you can visit the pigs, cows, chickens, and bees – and afterwards enjoy a superb dining experience on site at The Three Blue Ducks restaurant. <\/p>\n

Early dinners and late nights<\/h2>\n

Lightyears<\/a><\/h3>\n

This modern asian diner has a relaxed vibe and amazing food.\u00a0Perfect for a party of four or more, the dishes are shared plates – expect an explosion in your mouth. <\/p>\n

The Mez Club<\/a><\/h3>\n
\"guide
Light and airy interiors await at The Mez Club<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Totally Instagrammable interiors meets middle eastern cuisine – the Mez Club is a great place to kick back and soak up the local street scene, while getting your gourmet tongue tickled with their Med cuisine.<\/p>\n

Chupacabra<\/a><\/h3>\n

Based in Suffolk Park, (a short bike ride away from the main town), Chupacabra is a Mexican taqueria serving rustic Mexican food that shines the light on local produce.<\/p>\n

Bang Bang<\/a><\/h3>\n
\"guide
Get the Bali vibes at Bang Bang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A new addition to the local scene, Bang Bang feels like you have stepped into Seminyak Bali. With it\u2019s industrial not-quite finished interiors, Bang Bang serves south east asian food and creative cocktails with a high energy buzz. <\/p>\n

Rae\u2019s At Wategos<\/a><\/h3>\n

Another totally Instagrammable interior, this restaurant wins hands down for its location overlooking Wategos Beach. Serving contemporary Australian with a mediterranean influence, you do feel like you could be on the south coast of Italy at Rae\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Harvest<\/a><\/h3>\n

Located in Newrybar, this is a bit of a day trip institution.\u00a0Known for its locally sourced produce (much of it grown or baked on site) Harvest is situated in an airy weatherboard cottage – a beautiful spot for lunch or dinner.\u00a0Book ahead for this one.<\/p>\n

Guide to Byron Bay: Shop<\/h2>\n

Byron is home to some of Australia\u2019s most loved brands – like Spell & the Gypsy Collective, One Teaspoon, Children of the Tribe, The Beach People, Rowe, Tigmi Trading and Zulu and Zelphyr. You can find most of the stores in Lawson, Fletcher and Jonson Street – but make sure you visit the arts and industrial area<\/a> and Habitat<\/a>.\u00a0Newrybar Merchants is another must-shop location just 15 minutes drive in the hinterland (just opposite Harvest). <\/p>\n

Day trips from Byron Bay<\/h2>\n
\"guide
Explore the villages around Byron, and take in the sights along the way<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We know this is a guide to Byron Bay, but, for a scenic drive following a long lunch – you can take your pick of the range of small surrounding villages, including Bangalow, Mullumbimby, Federal and Brunswick Heads. Personally (and clearly I am biased…) you need to do them all. <\/p>\n

Where to stay in Byron Bay<\/h3>\n

Our favourite places to stay are the small luxury guesthouses located in the main town namely The Bower Byron Bay<\/a>, The Atlantic Byron Bay<\/a>, and 28 Degrees<\/a>.\u00a0Rae\u2019s on Wategos<\/a> is a standout boutique hotel with suites and penthouses right on the beach.<\/p>\n

\"guide
Live your best life at The Bower Byron Bay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you are looking for a resort style accommodation (with onsite spa and restaurants) you can choose from Elements<\/a> or The Byron at Byron<\/a>. For those more budget conscious hit up AirBnb, there is a wide range from coastal cottages to hinterland farm houses on offer.<\/p>\n

Getting there<\/h2>\n

From Hong Kong, fly to Brisbane and then take a transfer or hire a car – it\u2019s an easy two-hour drive south of the city.\u00a0If you\u2019re coming from Singapore, fly on scoot airlines to Gold Coast, which is only 40 minutes from Byron Bay, again transfer or hiring a car is the way to go.<\/p>\n

When to go<\/h2>\n

Byron Bay is beautiful year round, but gets very crowded during Australian school holidays (December\/January; Easter; September\/October).\u00a0If you want the warmer months, visit February-May or October-December. Byron Bay also enjoys a very mild winter (June-August) with warm sunny days and cooler nights. Humpback whale season is June-October. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

As a young expat, Chris started the Honeycombers publication to share the sweet life of living in the Lion City of Singapore. She was surrounded by other expats who thought Singapore was 'boring' but she believed it was just that they did not have a publication that inspired them, hence Honeycombers was born. Years later, she expanded Honeycombers into Bali and Hong Kong. Today, Chris lives in Byron Bay, Australia and travels to Singapore, Bali and Hong Kong frequently to meet up with the locally based editorial teams at Honeycombers.","url":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/author\/chris\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165439"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=165439"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165439\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":170795,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165439\/revisions\/170795"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/165448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=165439"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=165439"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=165439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
