Local, national, and international associations

Due to its prominent coast position, the Cape Byron Lightstation maintains a number of local, national and international associations.

The NSW Marine Rescue operates within the Cape Byron Lighthouse precinct with an office onsite, and the Bureau of Meteorology operates a weather station onsite.

With its position as the most easterly point on the Australian mainland, and its proximity to the Pacific Highway, the Cape Byron Lighthouse site is an established tourist destination.

Events (for example, weddings and parties) are frequent on the site due to the scenic views and the catering/celebrant facilities that have been made available in recent decades. Additionally, the annual whale migration in the winter months attracts a large number of tourists and locals.
