At the Easternmost tip of the continent, Cape Byron Lighthouse sits proudly to remind Aussies of seafaring days past. Settled in Cape Byron State Conservation Area, this lighthouse and maritime museum is free for all who want to come. The lighthouse is still used with an automated light today, which replaced the need for a keeper in 1989. Tours are offered regularly that provide information about the history of the lighthouse and local shipwrecks. Guests are encouraged to bring binoculars to watch for whales and marine life from the top of the lighthouse.
