Great Walks/Rides
I love this walk & try to do it at least 3 times a week. starting at the carpark near Beach Byron Bay Cafe I take the board walk turn left down past the Pass Cafe up over the hill past Wategos Beach & up the stairs (they never get any easier) take in the view then head back down via the road (you can go up thru the bush) when you get to the part of the road where it forks take the upper road to your left it is a lot safer walking.
