When visitors ask what to do in Byron Bay after a day at the beach, one answer appears again and again: head to the Beach Hotel.

Perfectly positioned on Bay Street overlooking Main Beach, the Beach Hotel enjoys one of the most enviable locations in Australia. Step out of the venue and you are only moments from the sand, the ocean and some of Byron Bay's most spectacular coastal views.

The Beach Hotel has long been one of Byron Bay's most iconic venues. While many visitors arrive for a meal, a drink or a sunset view, live music is a major part of the experience.

The venue is renowned for hosting regular live entertainment, with local musicians, touring artists, DJs and bands appearing throughout the week. Its dedicated stage and beachfront beer garden create a unique atmosphere where music and the Byron Bay lifestyle come together.

Unlike venues that focus only on weekend entertainment, the Beach Hotel offers live music and performances throughout much of the week. Acoustic artists, solo performers, duos, DJs and larger acts regularly appear on the venue's gig guide, ensuring there is usually something happening for both visitors and locals.

The hotel has also hosted many well-known Australian and international performers over the years. For emerging musicians, a performance at the Beach Hotel is often considered a significant step, while visitors have the opportunity to discover new talent in a relaxed beachfront setting.

One of the venue's greatest attractions is its outdoor beer garden. Sitting under the palms with live music playing, a cool drink in hand and Main Beach only metres away captures much of what people imagine when they think of Byron Bay.

For visitors planning their stay, checking the Beach Hotel gig guide before arriving is worthwhile. Special events, touring acts and seasonal performances are regularly scheduled throughout the year.

Whether you are looking for a relaxed afternoon acoustic session, sunset drinks accompanied by live music or an evening performance from a touring artist, the Beach Hotel continues to be one of Byron Bay's most popular entertainment destinations.

For many visitors, a Byron Bay holiday is not complete without spending at least one afternoon or evening enjoying live music by the beach.
