Join a local flower workshop to create beautiful bouquets, floral centrepieces or flower circlets, guided by expert florists such as Flowers at The Farm. It’s a wonderful way to embrace the season’s colours and take home a piece of spring’s beauty.

Enjoy the refreshing spring breeze as you hike the Cape Byron Walking Track. This 3.7km loop provides breathtaking views of the ocean and lush hinterland. Sunrise and sunset walks are particularly magical, with golden hues lighting up the iconic lighthouse and sweeping vistas.

Byron Community Market

The Byron Community Market comes alive in spring, held on the first Sunday of every month. Browse handmade crafts, sample delicious foods and enjoy live music under the sunshine. The lively, artistic atmosphere is perfect for a spring day out.

Outdoor Yoga at the Beach

Spring is the perfect time to enjoy yoga in the great outdoors. Join a beachside yoga class at sunrise or sunset or head to Byron Yoga Centre for daily classes. Feel the sand between your toes and the fresh ocean air as you flow through your practice.

Byron Farmers Market

Spring produce is abundant at the Byron Farmers Market every Thursday morning. Stock up on vibrant fruits, fresh vegetables and artisanal treats. Grab a coffee, chat with local farmers and soak in the buzzing spring atmosphere.

Surfing and Water Sports

With warmer days arriving, spring is ideal for hitting the waves. Surf the iconic breaks at The Pass, Wategos or Tallows Beach. If you’re new to surfing, join a local surf school or try kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding in calmer waters.
