Tallow Creek
Tallow Creek which becomes Tallow estuary, is located on the southern side of Cape Byron Lighthouse.
The beach extends for some 3kms to the south to Broken Head. The beach itself is a great surfing beach and also serves as the main beach for Suffolk Park and Tallow's Beach residents.
The creek is mostly closed to the beach, thus hosting a number of waterbirds such as Great Egrets, ducks and Black Swans. When it is open to the tides, the estuary hosts shorebirds similar to the Belongil estuary including at times, a large number of Little Terns.
