Welcome
Thanks for visiting our web site, here you will be able to find general information and links relating to the Cape Byron Bay Light House. This site has been designed as a resource tool and information portal for Australia's most easterly lighthouse.
Byron Bay Lighthouse has become an icon for Byron Bay and is a must for any visitor to Byron Bay. Construction started in 1899 when the site was leveled by Mitchell and King - contractors. Charles Harding put together the plans for the lighthouse in the same style as used by New South Wales colonial architect of the day, James Barnet, his predecessor.James Barnet was renowned for his colonial style towers with large ornate crowns which are easily recognized.
As cape Byron Headland is a tall site already, there was no need for that tall of a structure to be designed.
Highlights
The rugged headland walk, where you will see sheltered rainforest gullies, and stunning ocean views. Cape Byron Headland is a great spot for watching dolphins, turtles, surfers and even humpback whales on their annual migration if you get your timing right.
