Tyagarah Nature Reserve entrance at Brunswick Heads, September 2024

The Tyagarah Nature Reserve is a protected nature reserve located in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia. The reserve protects 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) of coastline between Byron Bay and Brunswick Heads and has a total size of 875 hectares (2,160 acres).

It protects six endangered ecological communities including coastal saltmarsh and swamp sclerophyll forest. There are also 33 threatened plant species that occur or are known to occur there including stinking cryptocarya, red lilly pilly and green-leaved rose walnut.

The reserve is on the lands of the Bundjalung people, who are its custodians, and it is of great importance the Arakwal people, to whom it holds spiritual and cultural significance. The name Tyagarah comes from the Yugambeh–Bundjalung language word Targourah and is the word for 'open grass country' or 'camping ground'.

Use

The Tyagarah Nature Reserve is a popular place for whale watchers, particularly in spring when humpback whale mothers pass through when travelling from the Great Barrier Reef to Antarctica.

Tyagarah Beach, within the reserve, was designated a clothing optional beach by the Byron Shire in 1998 but this status was removed 30 August 2024 following complaints about inappropriate behaviour; no viable alternatives were found.
