Suffolk Park is a suburb in the Byron Shire of the Northern Rivers region in New South Wales, Australia. It is 5 km south of Byron Bay. At the 2021 Census, its population was 4,222. The town was named after George A. Suffolk (1876-1952) who dedicated a large parcel of land to the Byron Shire Council for community use on 16 November 1922. Suffolk Park has grown to a point of having its own identity. Situated just south of Cape Byron, Suffolk Park is a 10 minute drive from Byron Bay. Tallow Beach, which stretches 7.6 km from Cosy Corner at the Cape south to Broken Head, lies adjacent to the suburb. Streets The main shops are located on Clifford Street. The beach runs parallel with Alcorn Street. Other notable streets are Armstrong Street and Brandon Street. Some residents of Alcorn Street were accused of appropriating Suffolk Park beach reserve into their backyards in 2008. Removal of native vegetation, private tracks to the beach and misleading signs had resulted in degradation of the coastal foreshore. Landmarks Notable landmarks in the area are "Cocked-Hat Rocks", (a large rocky outcrop at the Broken Head beach) which are also known by traditional Bundjalung people as "Sister's Rocks", the Suffolk Park Caravan Park, and King's Beach. Facilities There is a small shopping centre at the corner of Clifford Street and Broken Head Road that services Suffolk Park with a post office, liquor store, pub, newsagent, bakery, pharmacy, and a few restaurants and take-aways. Suffolk Park also features a small recreational area behind the fire station, Gaggin Park, through which entry to Tallow Beach is available. Sporting clubs Suffolk Park Football club formed in 2012.
