Hostel Activities:
Backpackers Inn is perfectly located on the BEACH so many of our activities are FREE.
Why not spend your hours sun baking, swimming, walking, kicking a football or using one of the free bodyboards on the beach??? Hire a surfboard and the waves are always free.A 40 minute stunning walk along the beach will take you to Cape Byron Lighthouse, the most Eastern Point of Australia with fantastic views up and down the coast. A great place to see dolphins all year around and the majestic Humpback whales from June to October.
Of course nightlife is an important activity at The Inn. On Wednesday and Saturday we have parties with BBQ’s, live music and fireshows. Dressing up on special nights is a must. Our close relationship with clubs such as Cheeky Monkeys, Cocomangas and Woody’s Surf Shack means we always have fun VIP nights out as well.

The hinterland provides a place with so many options to do mountain biking in the rainforests that you will want to do it again and again.
