Coastal touring on Grand Pacific Drive
This southerly route from Sydney starts in the Royal National Park, then heads south along the coast to Wollongong, Shellharbour and Kiama. It’s a roller-coaster ride through rainforests and past seaside villages that follows a strip of pretty coastline. A highlight is Sea Cliff Bridge, an engineering marvel that swerves out from the cliffs over the ocean.
You’ll have plenty of time to relax on this easy drive. Go hiking along trails in Royal National Park, follow the boardwalk at Minnamurra Rainforest or walk across Sea Cliff Bridge.
Diving and surfing, fishing and snorkelling are popular activities while sky diving and hang gliding are for thrill seekers of any age. Head further south along the Princes Highway for more coastal experiences or swing inland to the Southern Highlands.
