New Brighton suburb profile

New Brighton is a small, laid-back coastal village on Tallow Beach in the Byron Shire, sitting between Byron Bay and the sheltered headland of Broken Head. It feels residential and low key, with weatherboard cottages, timber beach houses and a smattering of newer homes tucked into tree-lined streets. The long sand beach and headland attract surfers, walkers and bird watchers, and the neighbourhood appeals to families and people seeking a quieter coastal pace than nearby Byron Bay. Amenities within the village are modest, with shops and cafes a short drive away and coastal walking tracks and parkland close by.

New Brighton property market performance

Like many smaller suburbs, New Brighton sees relatively few property sales, so there isn't enough recent data to publish a reliable median price for houses or units.

Recent figures for sales activity, median days on market and average rents are also unavailable, so a fuller market breakdown can't be provided from the current data.
