The Northern Rivers is a favourite for lovers of sun, surf and fishing. Byron Bay and the villages on its fringe are notable for their vibrant arts scene and laid-back lifestyle. From Byron’s streetscapes with their organic food stores, top restaurants, and fascinating arts, crafts and alternative stores, you can explore the quaint towns in the area, with their country appeal from another era – fruit stalls, antique stores, interesting boutiques, cake shops and cafes.
