South Coast Region
More than 30 national parks, marine parks and nature reserves can be found on the South Coast of NSW that stretches from the Royal National Park near Sydney to Eden. The unspoilt natural beauty of the region makes it a perfect holiday destination, at any time of the year. Depending on the season, you’ll be able to see pods of dolphins and whales off the coast, Australia fur seals and little penguins at Montague Island.
A great way to explore the region is by following the Grand Pacific Drive from Sydney; the Sydney-Melbourne Coastal Drive will take you to the region’s don’t-miss attractions.
Take a dip in the pristine waters of Jervis Bay, stroll the old wharf at Tathra and relax in romantic little hideaways. Discover the secrets of Mystery Bay, Disaster Bay, Pigeon House Mountain and Mount Dromedary as you head towards Eden.
