Wategos Beach is a pretty arc of white sand in Walgun Cape Byron State Conservation Area, just 2km from Byron Bay town centre. Dotted with rocks and tidal pools and framed by dramatic headlands, the east and west ends of this secluded haven make ideal wedding locations for nature lovers.
It's easy to see why people from around the world come to wed in this idyllic place. Hold your ceremony with your toes in the sand to the symphonies of surf and calling seabirds. Your guests will enjoy shimmering views of turquoise Pacific waters, and perhaps even bottlenose dolphins frolicking in the surf.
The photo opportunities on this dramatic stretch of coastline make it easy capture memories of your big day forever. There’s room for everyone to enjoy canapes and sip champagne and, if you want to let your hair down, a refreshing dip or even a ride on the waves.
You don't need to go far to spoil yourself with charming beachside accommodation. Just a short stroll away is award-winning Imeson Cottage, Mildenhall Cottage, Thomson Cottage, or Partridge Cottage and Geoffs Shed.
