My Quick Winter getaway

We all need to getaway from the cold whether you are jetting off to Europe or escaping to the sunshine coast for the weekend. My getaway was in Byron Bay. I stayed in Brunswick Heads (20 minutes north of Byron Bay) and stayed in a caravan.
We visited the lighthouse at Byron which was incredible. The views were great and as I walked along the walking track near the lighthouse - I watched a mother whale with its calf swim along the coast line. A pod of dolphins joined too. It was so breathtaking!
We also visited 'The Pass' - this is part of the national park in Byron. It has a great lookout which has amazing views and the water is an aqua blue colour. I highly recommend this place for somewhere to escape for the afternoon on a sunny day.

Brunswick Heads is all about rivers. Our caravan was located right next to the river - you can go fishing or kayaking. The town has some cute little cafes near the water and a few little boutique shops.

Byron is so close to QLD - we drove to Tweeds Head for the day - only took 45 minutes. Tweeds Head was much warmer and lots of great shopping. The water was great too especially for mid-July.

There are so many small towns around Byron Bay - that you can go for day trips. It was only a few days but I feel more relaxed and felt like I escaped the cold winter for a little bit. A great little winter getaway.
