Taylors Beach is a spectacular sweeping beach north of St Helens in the Bay of Fires. Situated between the Gardens and Sloop Reef to the south.
Pure white sand and beautiful aquamarine water. The beach is exposed to waves from the east and usually has some surf and many rips. Swimming is only advised for proficient swimmers. Recommended for a ‘paddle’, long walk or surf fishing.
Access is by 7 main road turnouts along the beach, each with limited parking and a short walk to the beach. There is no camping.
Taylors Beach was originally named Big Lagoon Beach after the large lagoon behind the beach, it was later renamed Taylors Beach after a local resident. The Bay of Fires was named by Captain Tobias Furneaux as he sailed past in 1773, spotting Aboriginal fires lighting up the coastline.
