Why it's worth checking out
Tallow Beach stretches along the coast just south of the town centre in Byron Bay, the laid-back coastal town on the New South Wales north coast. A strong 4.7 rating from 321 reviews reflects its standing as a much-loved local beach.
The appeal is a long, wild and beautiful stretch of sand — a more rugged, less crowded beach than the main town beaches, backed by the Arakwal National Park and perfect for a walk, a surf for the experienced, or simply soaking up the raw coastal scenery. It's a genuine Byron highlight for those after space and nature.
Beaches have changing conditions and Tallow is unpatrolled in places with strong currents, so take care, heed local safety advice and swim only where it's safe. Otherwise it's a free, easygoing spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection, water and take your time.
