North Beach Mylestom

Also known as North Beach, Mylestom is one of the Bellingen Shire's best-kept secrets – a peaceful coastal village nestled between the Bellinger River and a sweeping stretch of uncrowded surf beach. The village offers a tranquil mix of river and beach access, making it ideal for swimming, paddling, and picnicking. A netted tidal pool provides a safe space for little ones to splash and swim, while shady riverside lawns and a park invite play and exploration. Just behind the village lies Bongil Bongil National Park, with easy access to forest trails, coastal bushwalks, and abundant native wildlife, including koala if you are lucky enough to see one. Mylestom is popular with families thanks to its affordable holiday options, including beach houses, caravan parks, and riverside cabins. For a bite to eat or supplies, the local general store has you covered – offering everything from breakfasts to classic fish and chips, served the old-fashioned way in paper. Grab a seat at the outdoor picnic tables and enjoy the river views while you refuel. Whether you're visiting for a snack and a swim, a beachside picnic, or a peaceful holiday stay, Mylestom's laid-back charm and natural beauty offer a refreshing escape from the everyday.
