Cape Byron Lighthouse
The most iconic symbol of Byron Bay is the classic Cape Byron Lighthouse, which was completed in 1901. Standing sentinel atop the Cape Bryon headland, the lighthouse is particularly beautiful in the early morning, when the dawn light reflects warmly off its pure white facade, contrasting sharply with the dark blue waters of the Pacific Ocean and the magical hues of the sky. Sunsets can be equally moving in the right conditions. Although it is over 100 years old, the lighthouse remains fully functional and is still a very important part of maritime safety and navigation in the area.
