The Pass

The Pass is Byron Bay's crown jewel—a long, winding right-hand point that embodies the region's laid-back surf culture. The wave is forgiving and fun, wrapping around the headland below the famous lighthouse, occasionally connecting all the way to Clarks Beach on bigger swells. It's a longboarder's paradise and a gathering place for the eclectic Byron community. Sunrise sessions with dolphins and the smell of the rainforest are part of the magic. Don't expect perfection—expect crowds, good vibes, and one of Australia's most beloved wave-riding experiences.
