Set like a gem into shades of green and blue, Tathra surrounds itself in the natural beauty of both Mimosa Rocks National Park to the north, and Bournda National Park to the south, home to many seabirds such as the endangered little tern and an abundance of wildlife.
Tathra Beach meanders 3km around the shoreline, patrolled in summer and protected from southerly winds making it great for surf, board riding and sailboarding.

Tathra has a welcoming charm about it, locals still chat about where the fish are best biting, or where the last whale was sited in season.
A special place to sit back relax and really unwind.
The Tathra Forest Wildlife Reserve on the western boundary of town abounds with native flora and fauna.
The 9 km Kangarutha Track from Kianinny Bay offers a challenging walk with spectacular coastal views.
Bournda National Park and Wallagoot Lake have facilities for camping, wet weather shelter, a network of walking trails, lagoons, beach access and wildlife.
To the north, the Mimosa Rocks National Park attracts walkers, campers and birdwatchers. It is a heavily timbered park, and its rugged coastline has caves, cliffs, lagoons and beaches to be explored.
Tathra Beach is a patrolled surf beach located only minutes drive from the Resort. Alternatively there is a pleasant 30 minute bushwalk through the Tarthra Forest Wildlife Reserve down to the beach. The southern end is most popular for swimmers with the Northern end more suitable to surfing.
A bushwalk through the Tathra Forest Wildlife Reserve will take you down to Tathra Beach. The Wildlife Reserve is a 60ha wildlife corridor that provides habitat for a range of fauna species, including glossy black-cockatoos, listed as a threatened species. These rare birds feed on the black sheoaks (Allocasuarina litoralis) found in coastal forests, and build nests in the hollows of old or dead trees. The Main Ridge Track provides welcome shade in summer as it passes through coastal rainforest, and down to a secluded wetland, with a variety of waterbirds, frogs and water dragons. Continue through the Reserve until you reach Dilkerra Rd; follow this until you reach the famous Tathra beach, recent winner of the south coast section of NSW’s Clean Beach Challenge. The walk takes about 45 minutes one way, and is graded as easy - medium.
