Wategos Beach sits in between the main stretch of Byron Bay and the Lighthouse and is a great beach for surfing. At the moment the main part of Byron Bay has lost a bit if sand (due to the natural shifting of sand around the coastal areas) and at low tide you have to walk quite a way out to find any good waves.

Wategos Beach, however is really pretty at the moment and great for swimming. It is also home to some of the most expensive property in Byron Bay – one place was rented out this summer for $11,000 per week! In spite of the housing, the beach is uninterrupted and the housing has been restrained in terms of height – a great practice in beautiful coastal areas like Byron Bay (do a search on Gold Coast, Australia for some good examples of how to ruin a beautiful sea-scape by over-development!)

To reach Wategos you will have to drive in along Lihthouse Rd but parking is quite scarce in peak times so my recommendation is to park at Palm Valley and take the 400m walk up over the headland to get stunning views of the beach (this is where by main Byron Bay photo was taken).
