I was chatting to a good friend about what makes Byron such a special place.
Is it the beach?
The gorgeous places to eat and drink?
Is it the super-friendly and relaxed people you meet and who run the amazing businesses there?
For me, it’s a combination of all of the above and why I always have a fab time in Byron whether I visit for a few hours or stay for a week.
Breakfast or Brunch? No matter what time you finally wake up, head to The Farm
If you are an early riser like me, Byron is a fab spot to get up early and head out for a walk along the beach. Love a sleep in? No worries, breakfast at most places seems to stretch out to become brunch. The Farm is a perfect spot to enjoy both. The Farm is a firm fave of mine.
You can choose to takeaway delicious hot coffee and buttery pastries and head off for a stroll (let the kids run wild!) or dine in and enjoy the view. If you choose to dine in, super friendly staff are always buzzing around, which means you can relax while you order from the locavore menu.
A lot of the fresh produce comes directly from the small lot farmers who share the space and I think you can taste the difference!
Time for a Sunday stroll – Bangalow & Newrybar
After enjoying a sleep in, big breakfast and a strong coffee, if you feel the need to walk it off or just go for a wander – take the short drive to beautiful Bangalow and Newrybar. Nestled in the hinterland behind Byron, these two tiny villages are home to gorgeous homewares, more great cafes and some fab fashion.
Some of my fave spots to visit/ eat in and around Bangalow and Newrybar are:
Shop
For a beautiful collective of retailers head to Newrybar Merchants, home to Art Park, Shannon Fricke, The Book Room, Minimosh, Tigmi Trading, Beautiflora, Nikau, Fate & Fortune and firm fave The Society Inc.
Eat
Time for a drink – fab spots for a drink or two, maybe just settle in for the afternoon
After all of that eating, shopping and walking if you are feeling a little parched head back to Byron for a cold drink or two. For a laid-back afternoon under the trees, try starting with a Bloody Mary at The Treehouse. My friend and I both settled in for some quality people-watching, savouring ours. Order extra-hot if you’re feeling game! Nestled next to the beach, and serving wood-fired pizzas, Treehouse is a perfect spot to relax for a couple of hours with a drink or two.
If a pub and a cold brew are more your scene, wander in to the Beach Hotel (fab views, live music, did I mention the view?), The Rails (The Railway Friendly Barl) or The Great Northern (for an old school pub, keep an eye out for the great bands playing here).
The Rails (The Railway Friendly Bar)
If you’re not a fan of pubs, Miss Margarita is a fab little spot near the beach serving a range of delicious drinks and Mexican food.
Whew! That is one hefty list, but there are just so many great places to eat/drink/shop and relax!
Have you got any firm faves in Byron?
Enjoy xx
