Your Caffeine Fix – Just up the road from Byron Bay’s Main Beach, the Top Shop Café offers home-cooked pastries, wholesome burgers and, reputedly, the best coffee in town. The place to be seen, The Top Shop has hosted a number of celebrities, including Elle MacPherson and Sarah Wilson, but maintains a very laid back, corner store feel – the perfect early-morning kick starter, or post-surf hang-out.
The Hidden Coves – South of Byron Bay, between Broken Head and Seven Mile Beach, which stretches all the way down to Lennox Head, are several small, secluded bays that very few visit or even know about. Out towards Broken Head, these secret spots are off the beaten track and often without a single soul on the pristine, sandy beaches.
