Wildlife
Whales are still spotted here and there, they come right into the Bay. You could be sitting on the beach and the next thing your view of the sea is broken by a tail fluke lazily waving at you.
Red Rose Realty is proud to support Sea
Shepherd in their endevours to protect our sea neighbours. Please take some
time to check out their website by clicking on their logo below.
Things happen all the time around Byron just call and ask us whats happening at the time you plan to stay and we will fill you in.
We have a regular pod of Dolphins who can be seen just about every day, swimming
feeding and surfing amongst other swimmers and surfers (human).
The winter sun is delightful a quiet un-crowded time here in Byron. Ocean temperature
is currently 21 degrees warmer than the air temp.
The weather is beautiful. Great for diving and whale watching.
