Byron Bay / Belongil

Even paradise can get busy at times, and during peak season, you may experience long delays going in or out of town, or to the beach. Car traffic can queue across roundabouts and intersections. You will see many people with bikes, scooters or casually strolling around with a smile because they are not stuck in traffic ;)

Forgot to pack your hat, thongs, socks or underwear? The main street in town can be expensive as it is often upmarket fashion, not $5 (flip-flops) thongs or $2 jocks. You can occasionally buy cheaper emergency clothing top-ups at Aldi or Woolworths. The Retro Clothing store in Centennial Drive is just a walk from the house. You will also find thrift shops such as Lifeline, SVDP ("Vinnies"), Global Ripple Op Shop or Salvos in the main part of town.

Many great restaurants offer fine dining for gourmets at appropriate prices. If you are looking for some cheap and cheery homestyle comfort food, try the old "Govindas" (rebadged as The Cardamom Pod) in Lawson St. Meals are made with love and budget-friendly enough for backpackers. Stocks can run out fast during peak season, so be early.
