Byron Bay is the eastern most point of Australia 's mainland on the New South Wales' north coast. It is famous for its alternative lifestyles and attracts people from all walks of  life.  Captain James Cook named the area on May 15, 1770 after John Byron, the grandfather of Lord Byron (the famous poet) and a navigator.  Byron Bay was once a whaling station and is still a popular stop for tourists to go whale watching and experience some of the world's best eco-tourism.  It is now home to people from all socio-economic levels and is a world class holiday resort with its magnificent and picture perfect beaches.

Byron Bay has a subtropical climate all year with the cooling coastal winds in summer a relief.  Cape Byron is a 107 meter high rocky promontory at Australia 's most eastern point.  It protects Byron Bay and the Cape Byron lighthouse stands tall upon its top. Its light beams more than 40 km out to sea to warn sailors to beware of the treacherous coastline.

An ocean way runs from the center of town all the way to the Cape Byron lighthouse.  Visitors are encouraged to use sustainable options for moving around town like walking and cycling.  Temperate and tropical waters merge at Byron Bay, making it a popular area for scuba diving and snorkeling.  Most diving is done at Julian Rocks which is part of the recently established Cape Byron Marine Park and only a few minutes boat ride from Main Beach.

Our accommodation:  Located at Tallows Beach in Byron Bay.  Our private home has comfortable furnishings, modern conveniences & lots of room.   A recently built resort-style saltwater pool and waterfall so close to the white sands of beautiful Tallow Beach complete this beautiful home in an amazing location.  The pool area is sunny and spacious with beautiful sandstone surrounds, water feature and comfortable sun lounges to lie on.  Adjoining the pool for outdoor dining is a covered well lit BBQ area with a timber 8 person setting.  The property has lovely gardens with ambient lighting and is fully fenced and gated.

Tallows Beach is tucked in behind Cape Byron, the northern end of Tallows is normally very sheltered, giving rise to the name Cosy Corner.  Depending on the wind direction and conditions  it can be quite pleasant here while in the rest of Byron it's blowing a gale.  Heading south, the beach backs onto Suffolk Park  which lies about 6 km - 10 minutes drive from the center of Byron Bay.  A separate community with a separate identity - Suffolk Park feels a long way from Byron Bay.  Tallows is a good place to see the sunrise and enjoy the perfect splendor of white sand beaches.
