It's home to bluenose dolphins.For an afternoon energy boost, head back into town and grab a Unicorn Smoothie from <a href=http://www.nakedtreaties.com.au/>Naked Treaties</a>, a raw-vegan café (open until 4 p.m.) known for its colored drinks and passion fruit-topped brekkie bowls.Many of Byron’s hipper, upscale businesses have all debuted within the last two years. And that holds true for <a href=https://mezclub.com.au/menus/>The Mez Club</a>, the whitewashed, boho-designed Mediterranean eatery and bar outfitted with Moroccan sitting poofs and rustic-chic straw furniture. Here, mezze boards and tapas plates of lamb balls and crispy haloumi cheese are great to share with a group.Day 2Begin your day at <a href=https://barefootroasters.com.au/>Barefoot Brew Room</a>, a small coffee shop tucked into a side street. While typical espresso-based beverages are available, in-the-know locals order an off-menu special, the Cacao Chai, a hot tea-based drink made from a mix of chocolate powder and chai.Have breakfast at <a href=https://www.facebook.com/TopShopByronBay/>The Top Shop</a>, a neighborhood surfer hangout and one of the area’s older cafés.
