Cape Byron Lighthouse is a working lighthouse on Cape Byron on the far north coast of New South Wales, near the easternmost point of mainland Australia. Today it is also an interpretive centre, maritime museum and tourist attraction. Charles Harding and Cecil Darley designed it, and it was built between 1899 and 1901. It was added to the Commonwealth Heritage List in 2004 and the state heritage register in 2019. The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service owns it, and the Cape Byron headland reserve with its walks surrounds it. You see a bright white tower topped by a black dome and glass lantern, with small white buildings around it, on a green headland dropping to a turquoise sea. From the loop walk a long curving beach appears, white waves break on the rocks, and whales and dolphins may pass in winter. It is about 3 km from central Byron Bay in a straight line. The loop walk around the cape takes about an hour, and parking near the lighthouse is paid.
