It wouldn’t be a girl’s weekend without shopping, and so we did at the many boutique, chain and vintage shops that can be found in Byron Bay and on the outskirts of town. The variety of shops meant there was something for everyone, so no one went home empty handed.
In the afternoon, we went to The Balcony Bar and Oyster Co in town. An old favourite, the Balcony is still fantastic. The champagne, the oysters and the view over the main street can’t be beaten.
For dinner, we had booked Bang Bang, which is an excellent Asian-fusion restaurant with a variety of tasty dishes, perfect for sharing. The cocktails were inventive, and though not one usually for Asian-style desserts, they could not be faulted.
For a night out during a weekend in Byron Bay, The Beach Hotel is always a good bet for some live music and dancing. So we hit this popular spot, which is right on the beach and serves good pub food with many drinks.
