After my Tiger Shark free surf at Lennox Head we had a short drive north to arrive in Byron Bay. Even though it was just past 11.30am we had already been up for hours and were feeling like lunch so found ourselves at the Byron Beach Cafe.
It is a beautiful location from which you could see the break known as The Pass in the distance, but personally I found the cafe more than a bit pretentious. “Sir, we are not ready for lunch at this time” Oh I’m sorry I thought you were a cafe. I almost managed to bite my lip, but not not quite, and satisfied myself with ordering a beer with my breakfast because I knew me lowering the tone would irritate the waiter.
The food was good though and I have to say the beer that was brewed locally was pretty tasty too.
After our breakfast/lunch we went for a stroll along the beach towards the lighthouse to check out the break known as The Pass. Despite being quite small it was absolutely mobbed in the water and I decided to save the break for the return leg back towards Sydney hoping that it would be a little quieter and a bit bigger then.
We walked all the way along the beach to the island where a flight of steps has been built so that you can climb the mound and get a closer look at the surfers and the break,
Looking back down the beach you can see what great rides are on offer here. I’m looking forward to it already.
