📖 About Little Wategos Beach

Little Wategos is a tiny, north-facing beach tucked beneath the Cape Byron headland — Australia's most easterly point — accessible on foot from Wategos Beach. At just 150 metres long, it is remarkably sheltered and calm, making it a top spot for snorkelling, sunbathing, and relaxed swimming away from the crowds. The dramatic setting below the Cape Byron Lighthouse and its crystal-clear waters make it a must-visit for those exploring the Byron Bay headland walk.
