The prices are quite high, but you can be sure that the quality of the product is high as well. Silver earrings made by hand, ceramics cups for coffee, food from all over the world, organic fabric clothes, and so on.
Every Saturday you can also find garage sales or people sitting on the street selling their second-hand clothes. If you are looking for a second-hand wetsuit, there you can find one for 5$!

WHITES BEACH – Gabriel M Pacheco
I went to Whites Beach in Byron Bay a few weeks ago, and it was one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen.
I was with 3 friends of mine, with one surfboard and it was such a beautiful day. We parked the car at Broken Heads and took the trail to the beach.
The day was clean and the water was beautiful, the surf was good, and the beach was deserted.
The beaches in Byron are already beautiful but this one was stunning!
We drank some beers and surfed a bit, it was one of the best days of my trip here in Australia.
I would recommend it to anyone who likes beaches with fewer people than the famous one for example.
Take some beers with you and have a beautiful day!

This week in Adrienne’s Native Speaker class the topic was the environment. Students discussed what they thought the most discerning issue for them was and the general consensus was plastics.
As part of this class, the students went off campus and collected as much rubbish as they could. Some walked to the beach and others walked to the soccer fields. All together the students collected 6 large bags of rubbish!
What a success!

We all know Byron is a special place, and no matter how much time you have here you will most certainly be able to accomplish all of the things on this list.
The summer months are such a great time to be here, lots of tourists, busy streets, busy nights, and plenty of beaches!
Take a look at the top ten things you must do while in Byron Bay!
There are so many amazing beaches in and around Byron Bay with some hidden away from the general public. The central Byron beaches are fantastic if you don’t want to go too far. If you want to venture to some less known beaches take a look at our Byron Bay Beaches Blog

You can pretty much guarantee that you will see dolphins when you kayak in the Bay of Byron. Just head to the Byron Bay Touring Co travel desk downstairs in the student lounge and they will give you a great deal for Kayaking with the Dolphins and any other adventures you might like to do!
One of the cheapest and best ways to get around Byron is by bike and there are plenty of bike trails that begin in the town centre which take you through local rainforests to the beach. Come to reception and you can get yourself a bike for just $2 a day. You can’t get any cheaper than that!

Byron is small with a big town feel and it certainly has enough pubs, clubs, and bars for everyone. There’s live music on most nights of the week but the weekend is when it really heats up with local musicians playing in the streets. You only need to walk around to discover them for yourself!
The Lighthouse walk is a must. Get up early to see the sunrise or take a picnic and watch the sunset! The Lighthouse sits on Australia’s most easterly point and the views are amazing! The walking trail from Byron Bay’s Main Beach to the Lighthouse will take you around 45 minutes each way. It’s also worth taking a detour down to Little Watagos beach.

We got into the Christmas spirit today and iced a shed ton of cookies! Students got creative and even though we didn’t get any Christmas trees or Santas we certainly had a lot of Christmas baubles.
Things got very messy very quickly but it was all worth it!
Very abstract Alice!
Looks delicious😆
Hmmmm…..
Not so bad!
At least they tried… right?
Off to the market! A magic bus, amazing students, smiles on dials and a bit of spare change in the pocket: what more do we need? Oh, that’s right, a perfectly sunshiny Byron Bay day 🙂
Have a read of the reviews written by our awesome Upper Intermediate class:
Epic Market Day
We were at the market today and we took a cool bus. It was like a 10-minute ride and I enjoyed the view from the top deck.
There were different kinds of market stalls where you could buy fresh vegetables and fruit as well as different dips and juices.
During the whole market, two musicians were playing music. The sun shone upon our heads and after a while, we looked for protection under a tent, where we ate the delicious food we bought.
In conclusion, the morning was well spent and we really recommend the market if you like fresh and delicious food! – Celine and Dario
Today we went to the farmers market with our English class. We took a beautiful flowery bus that cost two dollars.
It was a nice place to have a good coffee and the best muffins around Byron Bay. Furthermore, we can find the best fresh vegetables and flowers.
Then, after having walked around the entire market, we spoke with a German girl who sells vegetables and fruits. She was really friendly and happy to speak to us.
Finally, we recommend taking a hat because it was really hot! – Maria Laura
Farmers Market
We have just taken a really nice bus to go to the market. Our teacher told us that the bus will be free but in the end we had to pay 2 dollars.
We were on the bus for 10 minutes and then we arrived at the markets. There were a lot of food stalls.
First we bought an escargot from a bakery and a smoothie from a juice stall. It tasted very good. Then we walked past the stalls. We tried some dips with chips and fruit. We had a nice conversation with the woman at the passionfruit stall. She explained the difference between the cheaper passionfruits and the expensive ones. The passionfruit which were cheap weren’t so good looking.
Then we talked to the man at the dip stall. We talked about the tasty pesto dip and then we were listening to the live musicians and gave them some money because the music was beautiful. We hope they will be famous soon!
The time passed very fast because the market was amazing. Then we had to take the same bus to go back to school and now we are sitting in our classroom and have to write this blog. – Christian and Lya
Today we went to the Byron Bay Farmers Market. The colourful bus took us right there which was very useful.
At the market, we experienced a very good atmosphere and a farmer even gave us some bananas for free.
There were a lot of things to see and try. our favourite was the fresh-pressed sugar cane juice with passionfruit and lime.
We saw all kinds of people, young people, old people, but no dogs as they are not allowed in the market.
We have a good message for everybody who spent too much money at the market, there is an ATM on the spot!
The farmers really seemed to enjoy their job which inspired us.
After these good experiences, we went back to school with the same bus and a big bag of passionfruits. – Kazuya and Mathieu
Yesterday’s activity was a soccer match against Byron Bay English Language School (BBELS). This is always a fun activity where students get to meet new people, practice English and have a ball (pun intended) while doing it!
Check out the photos below.
TEAM LEXIS!
Having a rest at half time!
Each half was played for 25 minutes, which on such a hot day, is long enough! In the end, Team Lexis came out on top 1-0 but both teams equaled in effort. Well done everyone!
Looking forward to the next match.

These are free activities that we put on exclusively for our Lexis students.
Tuesday’s class is taught by the lovely Brooklyn and was slow and strong!
Classroom 4 made the perfect yoga environment and the afternoon light was pretty good too!
We love it when students get involved and thanks to everyone who showed up. Hope to see you next week!
We welcome four new starters this week at Lexis English Byron Bay!
Thamires is from Brazil. She was born in Rio De Janeiro but now lives with her brother in Sao Paulo. She studies economics and works in a bank. In her spare time, she likes to read, play soccer, and run! Thamires would like to improve her English as her job works with clients from around the world. She came to Australia to study English because it’s a beautiful place, has nice beaches and the people are cool!
Maria is from Switzerland. She studied commerce and worked in a bank for two years but would now like to study naturopathy. She loves cooking and baking and both of her parents are Italian. She came to Australia for the good weather, the biodiversity, and also to learn English. She would love to stay in Australia for as long as possible, working, and studying something she’s interested in.
Marina is from Russia. She lives with her husband and daughter in Switzerland. She has come to Australia to study English which will enable her to have better communication skills which she needs for her job and travel.
Young is from Korea. He likes to listen to music and play sports and lives with his parents, two sisters and younger brother. He majored in material engineering at Dong-A University and would like to speak English fluently which is why he has come to Byron Bay to study English.
Today’s activity was a Hip Hop lesson. Led by amazing Hip Hop teacher Mina, students followed a series of steps which, by the end of the one hour lesson, ended in a whole dance routine!
Check out how it went..
Just a quick pre-warm-up dance😄
We spent 5 minutes doing our warm-up and then we were ready to start the first set of
moves.
What a work out!!! We finished with 5 minutes of stretching.
So much fun… Look forward to the next session!
