The peace and quiet of a hide-away This place, our shire's largest residential community, is a good step back from the business of Byron Bay. Here the landform begins to rise towards the foothills which lead to Broken Head Nature Reserve and the rolling hills inland. This beautifully planted out area has a caravan park and community centre building that hug the foreshore. Here you will find the main access trail to the beach. Its healthy dunal system is carefully tended by locals and the extra wide open beaches stretch north to Cape Byron and south towards the closer Broken Headland rock formations.
Residential areas are mature in their vegetation and show a consciousness of indigenous species.
There is a bike trail into the Bay from the end of Alcorn Street. The village centre is personal, friendly and comfortable to browse or shop within. Here the land begins its incline into the foothills that lead into the Broken Head Nature Reserve. The council's beachside caravan park has beautifully shaded sections with good facilities. Just on the other side of a giant foreshore dune system is the wide open beach that stretches north to the cape and south to the rock formations of Broken Head.
