Beaches · Suffolk Park
Seven kilometres of it, and you can usually find a stretch to yourself. Not patrolled the whole way, so ask us where to swim.
The beach
Tallow starts at Cosy Corner under the cape and runs south past Suffolk Park almost to Broken Head. It is the wild side of Byron. No cafes, no crowd, just national park behind the dunes and a lot of open sand.
It is also the one to be careful on. The bank drops away quickly and there are holes and rips along most of it. Suffolk Park is patrolled in season and that is where we send anybody swimming with children. The rest of it is for walking.

Where it is
South of the lighthouse, running the length of the national park down to Suffolk Park.
Cosy Corner at the northern end, Alcorn Street at Suffolk Park.
At the Suffolk Park end in summer. Nowhere else along it.
Surf, and only if you know what you are doing. Swim at the Suffolk flags.
None for most of its length. Bring water.
The best sunrise walk in the bay, and you will have it to yourself.
Suffolk Park
Tallow changes with every swell. We walk it most weeks and we will tell you which end is holding and which to leave alone.
