Lighthouse hike Byron Bay

The dotted line is the hike we were on in these pictures. We went all the way around several times. We started & ended at Wategos Bay & started out by heading up to the lighthouse. We LOVED this hike & I wish I lived in Byron Bay, if not for the surf & awesome weather, just for this hike alone! It is quite a long hike & not for people looking for an easy walk. It's really hard in some places & steep! Totally worth it.These pictures make me want to go hike it again right now.
Lighthouse at the top
Soooo HOT & HUMID!!! We reached the top at the lighthouse & my face was so red from sweating so much. I don't know if we could have made it that day without the wind.
nice view
Another great view. Every hill you climbed rewarded you with another amazing view.
Ben & Henry checking on the surf below
finally going down hill
Most of this trail is either straight up or down..not much in between
happy picture!
we surfed here a few times. Wategos bay
SOOOO WINDY!!!
Way over in the distance you can see the "pilots only" take off point for the hang gliders near the top of the closest peak.
Here it is. This is funny. You just walk up on this random "runway" off a cliff. There is a gate that you could just walk around if you wanted to, but hopefully you wouldn't, because it's a serious drop off the other side as you can see in the picture above.
