Byron Bay YHA is located right in the centre of this popular seaside town and only metres to some of Australia's top surf beaches.

Hire a surfboard, bike or free bodyboard from the hostel and check out Byron Bay's unspoilt beaches and great cycling trails or watch the sun set over Australia's eastern-most point. If that's not enough, there is snorkelling, kayaking, hang-gliding, rainforest tours, whale watching, and a busy nightlife scene.

Back at the YHA you can laze by the solar heated swimming pool, on Monday's take a guided walk to the lighthouse, enjoy a movie and free popcorn on Tuesday, Friday is BBQ night and end the week with pizza on a Sunday. All rooms have fans and large decks.
