Beach days and coastal adventures in Byron Bay

Tucked amongst tropical surrounds around ten minutes from town, the park offers pet friendly sites and cabins, making it a great choice whether you’re travelling in a caravan or looking for a more relaxed cabin stay. For families or groups, the Beach House sleeps up to six guests and welcomes pets too, making it easy to enjoy a Byron Bay escape without leaving anyone behind.

The park also has aa dog agility park, where your dog can run and play off leash, as well as its own dog wash for those post-beach swims.
