Byron Bay Learn to Surf & Beach Walk
Take a surf lesson at Byron Bay's best beginner beach, then walk the length of the bay from Belongil in the north to The Pass in the south — the complete Byron coastal experience.
- 1
Belongil Beach North
Belongil Beach is Byron's northern beach — a long, more remote stretch away from the town centre where the tea-tree lake meets the sea and artist communities have settled in the backing scrubland.

Surf School on Main Beach
Byron Bay's surf schools operate from Main Beach where consistent waves break over a sandy bottom — beginners can reliably stand up on their first lesson in the gentle one-metre waves.

Byron Bay Main Beach
Main Beach is the social heart of Byron Bay — the beach is lined with the town's cafés and the famous Byron Bay Brewery, and the sand is always busy with surfers, swimmers, and yoga practitioners at dawn.
- 4
The Pass Surf Break
The Pass is one of Australia's most famous point breaks — a long right-hander that peels consistently along the base of the cape, drawing experienced surfers from around the world to Byron.

Dolphin Pod Spotting
Bottlenose dolphins resident in Byron Bay regularly surf the waves at The Pass alongside human surfers — they are present year-round and approach the beach during certain surf sessions.

Sunrise Beach Meditation
Byron Bay's yoga and wellness culture reaches its peak at dawn — the Main Beach is lined with practitioners greeting the sunrise, and the light on the Cape Byron lighthouse from the sand is one of the coast's great sights.
