People with surf boards watching sunset in Byron Bay

<p>We recommend spending at least three to four days in Byron Bay to fully experience its beautiful beaches, vibrant culture, and scenic hinterlands. This will give you plenty of time to relax and explore the local attractions without feeling rushed.<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p>You don&#39;t really need a car to get around Byron Bay itself as the town is pretty compact and easy to walk around, with bike rentals and public transportation available if you need. However, if you wish to explore the surrounding areas and nearby attractions, it can be convenient to drive here or hire a car for your trip.<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p>Byron Bay is popular for its stunning beaches, laid-back atmosphere, and the iconic Cape Byron Lighthouse. Its vibrant arts scene, excellent surf spots, and phenomenal wellness retreats have made it a favourite destination for countless people worldwide, including high-profile celebrities like Chris Hemsworth, Nicole Kidman, and Matt Damon!<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p>Byron Bay is a great destination year-round, but in our opinion, the best time to visit is in the springtime. During these months, the temperature is warmer, the weather is drier, and daylight savings has just begun, meaning you&rsquo;ll have even more time to savour the sun. What&rsquo;s not to love about that?!&nbsp;<br />
