My favourite easy rainforest walk in the area is the Protestor's falls track. If you're quiet you will hear a lot of the wildlife that live in the rainforest, and you might even see a Pademelon (a tiny forward leaning marsupial that looks a bit like a kangaroo). Please don't swim in the waterfall or river here, as they're home to the endangered Fleay's barred frog.

Wategos Beach
A favourite among the beautiful Byron beaches.
The lighthouse sits at the most easterly point of Australia, and there is a walking track which is a 3.7km loop and takes 1-3 hours. It's even more impressive at sunrise, and lovely at sunset too. https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/walking-tracks/cape-byron-walking-track/visitor-info

A beautiful board walk through Melaleuca forest. The board walk is not long (about 300m), but you really get a immersive wetland experience. You can access the board walk behind the Butler St Reserve.
