Byron Bay Elopements on Wategos Beach are a sublime experince. A picture-perfect cove with protected waters, north-facing light, and a tucked-away feel that couples love. Say your vows on the sand while gazing out to Julian Rocks and the distant Tweed Hinterlands, it’s Byron beauty at its best.
There’s a peaceful nook in the corner of the beach that’s ideal for small ceremonies, or head just across the road to Wategos Park, a lush grassy space with sweeping ocean views. It’s a great Plan B if tides, wind, or sand conditions change last-minute, and it sits right in front of the iconic Rae’s on Wategos.
Hot Tip: Parking is limited due to surfers, so have guests arrive via Uber, taxi or local shuttles for a smooth experience.
After your ceremony, take a short stroll to Little Wategos—a quiet gem perfect for post-ceremony portraits with dramatic rock formations and ocean vibes.
