This small, friendly community (pop. 3099) is known for its pristine, uncrowded beaches, such as Tanilba Bay Beach and nearby Fingal Bay, where you can swim, paddleboard, or simply relax to the sound of gentle waves. The calm waters are perfect for kayaking and fishing, while the surrounding bushland invites peaceful walks and birdwatching. History buffs will enjoy the historic Tanilba House, a charming 1890s homestead that once hosted royalty. The town's relaxed pace is complemented by a handful of local eateries serving fresh seafood and modern Australian cuisine. Despite its seclusion, Tanilba Bay is just a short drive from Nelson Bay's bustling marina and the wild dunes of Stockton Beach. Whether you're watching dolphins play at sunset, exploring the Tomaree National Park, or savouring a lazy brunch at a waterfront café, Tanilba Bay embodies the unhurried, natural beauty of the NSW coast. It's an ideal spot for families, couples, and solitude seekers alike.",[10],{"key":11,"value":12},"Police, Fire, Ambulance","000",[14,17,20,23,26,29,32,35,38,41,44,47],{"key":15,"value":16},"Do I need a visa?","Most visitors need a valid visa or eTA before arrival.
