Learn To Surf
The great thing about choosing Byron Bay holiday house rentals is that you are likely to get a place close to the beach. You would be a stone’s throw away from one of the surf schools which you can register with to get lessons in surfing. The best time of year to visit for surfing is during the winter months of June and August when the conditions for surfing are best.
Paddle Boarding
Another popular water sport in Byron Bay is paddle boarding, where you stand up on a board like a surfboard, and paddle around. It is an excellent way to explore the coast and river inlets and get close to wildlife. There are a few places that you can hire your paddleboards and get a few tips and instructions if you are a novice user.
Learn To Scuba Dive
There are also plenty of options if you want to go diving, and there are a few schools that can accept beginners, as well as more experienced divers. You will get to explore under the water and see the fantastic array of wildlife that is native to this area of Australia. If you have an underwater camera, you will be able to get some incredible photos of your time under the ocean.
Go Kayaking
Another popular activity for visitors to Byron Bay is sea kayaking, and organised tours are offering this activity, or you can hire your kayak and go off and explore on your own. It is an excellent way to explore the different waterways leading to the sea, as well as the coast and take in the beautiful scenery that is on offer.
Snorkelling
As well as diving, snorkelling is also on offer in Byron Bay, and it will let you explore beneath the waves and see the abundance of life under the surface that you usually do not get to see.
