Full Description

Tyrella is a gorgeous beach when the children want space to run, dig and play. The broad stretch of sand gives families plenty of room to spread out, and the dunes behind it make the scenery feel wonderfully open. You can keep things simple with buckets and spades or enjoy a longer walk along the shore. It's the sort of day out where everyone comes home sandy, tired and happy.

Tyrella is a gorgeous sandy beach with lots of room for children to run, dig and enjoy the fresh sea air. Bring buckets and spades and let the wee ones get stuck into sandcastle building, shell hunting and beach games. The dunes behind the beach make it feel wonderfully open and natural, and it's lovely for a family walk along the shore too. You don't need much of a plan for a day here; just a few beach toys, snacks and time to explore. As with any beach, check conditions before paddling or swimming, and keep to the permitted areas to protect the dunes.
