About this place
What to expect
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. 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.
