Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Rosemary Cchichester67 contributionsHad a superb walk up onto the headland, to the light house and back round towards the beaches. There is a small cafe for drinks and light snacks by the lighthouse. The best thing was the outstanding view we had of migrating whales that were passing right past the headland. Incredible. We also saw a pod of dolphins and others said they had spotted turtles. Beautiful area.Written 6 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

The Wreck is a favourite spot for surfers> When I was there in December I just saw a bit with seagulls perched on it, as it was high tide. When you google The Wreck there are many images on the net.Written 6 January 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Paul HTipperary, Ireland297 contributionsPlenty to see in the many small shops. A friendly atmosphere and no pressure selling. This is one place where you can find genuine Australian products made by locals, but check the labels carefully.,Written 10 February 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mairwen1United Kingdom11,160 contributionsDon’t bother with this lookout. Any views that it once had have been totally overgrown.
There is a decent sized carpark here and a path that leads straight down to the beach so it’s a handy spot but don’t expect a panoramic view.
There is a changing room/toilet block to the right of the beach path, some outdoor gym equipment, and a picnic area with one or two wooden tables.
However the picnic area is also overgrown and quite dark and gloomy so I wouldn’t suggest it to anyone. There are so many beautiful picnic spots all over Byron that you can do much, much better elsewhere. This one is past its use-by date.
Although the lookout views are completely obscured by native bushland, just past it is an elevated boardwalk that does have some lovely vantage points.
We were walking from Main Beach to Wategos so we kept walking and after just a couple of minutes we had some really vantage points, looking down over Clarkes and Main Beaches.Written 13 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
