18 Top Byron Bay Activities for Valentines Day

Valentine’s Day, February 14th, is almost here! Have you figured out how you will celebrate your relationship this year? If you’re planning on being in Byron Bay, we’ve sourced some of the best options available to guarantee a fun and relaxing time.

Check out which of these 18 Byron Bay Valentine’s options suits you and your better half!

1. Catch the sunrise or sunset

The choice is yours: start your Valentine’s Day with a spectacular sunrise, or wind down after a romantic day with a breathtaking sunset. Byron Bay has some incredible spots for this, but our favourite is the Cape Byron Lighthouse.

You can drive or walk up to the lighthouse to catch the first light or visit this spot in the evening and watch the sunset over the ocean. The Cape Byron Lighthouse gives you a 360-degree view of Byron Bay, which provides you with the option to plan either a romantic sunrise or sunset.

Be sure to dress warmly: early mornings and late evenings can get chilly. It’s a great excuse to cosy up under a blanket as the night turns to day (and vice-versa).

2. Go for a hike

Hiking is a great way to experience an adventure together. Byron Bay is chock-full of hiking trails for all fitness levels, so you’re bound to find the right track to match your pace. Try the easy, often quite Boggy Creek Walk for a lovely Valentine’s Day stroll, where you can literally stop and smell the flowers. Or push your limits on the Mt. Warning hike in Wollumbin National Park.

Don’t forget to bring your water, snacks, binoculars and camera to capture the spectacular views when you reach the summit. Heads-up: once you get a taste of hiking in Byron Bay, you’ll be hitting the trails all year round, not just on Valentine’s Day!

The weather is great all year round, and you won’t want to miss the whale watching season from May to November.

3. Take a kayak tour

Share a kayak with your partner this Valentine’s Day, whether you’re a great swimmer or not. Paddle along the Byron Bay coastline or get up close with the dolphins, with an experienced lifeguard as your guide.

Check out the Go Sea Kayak Tours that take you down the Brunswick Heads River. There’s a kayaking lesson before you go out onto the water, so you’ll only need to bring your swimwear, towel, sunscreen, and a water bottle.

There is no need to worry about tipping over—kayaks are very stable on the water, and you’ll find it quite relaxing it is to glide over the waves.

4. Create a romantic playlist

During your romantic camping getaway, you definitely want to serenade your partner to show your love. And no, you don’t have to bring out the guitar and crank out your ballads. Take a little time beforehand to create a playlist of sweet, relaxing songs that your partner will love.

Go for variety in pace and genre, and ideally, choose between 30 and 50 pieces. Mix up the selection to include yours and their favourite songs, but make sure that it’s all music that captures your intentions.

Bring your portable Bluetooth speaker, press play, and set the mood with music (just be mindful of other campers and don’t have the volume too loud.) If you are off the grid during your getaway, download the songs onto your smartphone before you go.

5. Picnic at Belongil Beach

Belongil Beach is a romantic picnic spot for a private and intimate Byron Bay Valentine’s Day picnic. Here you can dig your toes into soft sand, share snacks and a glass of wine, while watching surfers test their limits on the waves. Make sure you have your swimsuits handy (ideally on under your clothes) so you can go for a dip!

6. Ocean Adventure Cruise

11. Cook Your Camping Valentine’s Dinner Together

Use your camping stove for more than just your coffee this Valentine’s Day. There are lots of romantic camping ideas around food: snuggle up as you stir a double serving of soup, or go all out and make an outdoor-inspired meal for your partner.

Of course, give each other little tastes of the food as you cook, and don’t forget to add some aphrodisiacs too: think of melted chocolate, honey, strawberries, figs, cherries… you get the drift. Finish your romantic camping meal with your favourite wine or champagne and cuddle the night away.

12. Watch the Stars

What’s more romantic than snuggling up in a double sleeping bag under a clear night sky? As far as romantic camping ideas go, stargazing will require a different type of tent. We recommend investing in a mesh-covered tent.

A two-person mesh tent gives you a full view of the night sky while keeping the bugs out. All you’ll need is a great camping spot and a sky map app to see which constellations shine down on you. Even better, bring along a lightweight telescope to get up close with the stars.
