We had an amazing time staying in the Beaumont apartment. It is exactly how it looks, that view is absolutely amazing and it was hard to get ourselves motivated to go farther then out for a swim each day. We had five nights and one of our joys was watching the passing flow of dogs on the beach, we even started to recognise them during their daily walks each with their own personality and interaction with its owner.
Having been to Byron several times I always enjoy sitting at Byron Fresh on Jonson watching the steady stream of people go by. Spice Coffee across the road does an amazing brew and if you arent looking for it you will miss it as it been created out of a tiny space between the buildings with about a 1 metre wide frontage. We also had pretty great meals at The Italian on Bay Street and Il Buco Cafe on Bay Lane. If you're up for a heaving crowd check out The Railway Bar.
Further out we had a lovely morning browsing boutique like shops at Bangalow and Bangburger Bar for a lunch, I would would drive from Byron just for the burger! The Lighthouse walk is always great and Tallows Beach for a more relaxed vibe. Stone and Wood Brewery worth a visit. Went to The Farm but wasn't over impressed and did not understand what the hype is all about.
If the sky is clear don't miss the mass of amazing stars above you at night.
