A tiny but beautiful secluded spot to get your photos taken, Little Wategos Beach is a lesser known beach along the coast of Byron Bay. Only reachable by a walking trail along which there are plenty of photo opportunities, the track opens up to reveal spectacularly blue water along a small bed of sand.
