Grace Ann Geer
"If you think you’ve dished out enough time for Byron, you haven’t. This is the ✨quintessential✨ Australian surf town. It’s got beautiful beaches, good surfing (that you can now partake in since you’ve done Surf Camp) good food, and one of the best piano bars I have ever been to. I spent 4 nights there but honestly could’ve spent a week there just relaxing and enjoying the beauty that Byron has to offer. While there, I stayed at Wake Up! which is a little outside of town but has a shuttle than runs every hour to and from town so I never really had an issue with the location. It’s right across from the beach and offers free surf board hire. If you are looking into something a little more central, check out the YHA. Top things to do in and around Byron: -Dolphin Kayaking -Surf Lessons -Lighthouse Walk (specifically for sunrise) -Dueling Piano Bar (seriously I went 3/4 nights I was in Byron. The guys who play there take suggestions and play fun songs that everyone is singing and dancing to until 2AM) "
