Went to see whales in Byron Bay but saw dolphins

in GEMS4 years ago (edited)

Leaving Coffs Harbour that day, I have to go back to the Emerald to collect the second year visa. At the mid of way , we came to Byron Bay for a visit. This is the easternmost point of the Australian mainland and the best place for whale watching. The best time to watch whale is from May to November every year.

Because left my friends who living together for two months , I was sad at that time !But seeing such a beautiful sea was shocked again, my mood was slightly calmed down !

In addition to being the best whale watching spot, Byron Bay is also a famous place to watch the sunrise. As long as it is not early in the morning , it is not difficult to park. The parking fee here is AUD 7, we park our car and walk along the coast towards the lighthouse!

The lighthouse is not the end of the hike. After passing the lighthouse, you can continue going down. There will be several hiking trails afterwards. Some go to the reef, and some go to the beach. However, there are many wild animals here, so be careful to encounter snakes when you walk.

I like this kind of original ecological trail the most. The road leading to the sea is without fences. There is only a road that the predecessors walked out. You have to be careful when you walk. At the end of this road, you will see a natural swimming pool, a swimming pool formed by rocks, with sea water constantly beating in and flowing out!

My friend’s original intention was to show me whales. Although whales are not so easy to see, but we saw dolphins. There were five or six together. The photo was not very clear, but I was very excited when I saw the dolphins. I haven’t seen the wild dolphins yet, so when I met a group of them was so excited!

Seems you had quite the time. I haven't seen a whale or dolphin ever, hoping I would soon. The picture with the lighthouse is absolutely beautiful. The view is so tranquil and peaceful

@gillianlien, Wow...gorgeous place for look natural beauty of the sea. Byron Bay visit was better opportunity for calm down your mind. Glad to hear it. How many distance want to reach final destination since entrance. Everywhere surrounded by blue color. Beautiful pictures you clicked. Have a great journey.

We used to go up to Byron Bay all the time until it got super busy. I love the whales all up and down the East Coast of Australia and we even get them down here in the Southern States glad you got to see dolphins at least full stop it is always beautiful when I get to see them here.

Did you get there at morning ? I ever got there at morning to see the sunrise , it was so busy that no place to park , we park far away and then walk up .

We used to stay on the beach there, so we could go any time of day! Twenty years ago it was very, very quiet.
