Getting to South Coast

Getting to the South Coast

Unspoilt natural beauty, uncrowded beaches and quaint country towns ensure the NSW South Coast is a popular holiday destination at any time of the year.

Self-drive is one of the best ways to explore this region. Follow the Grand Pacific Drive, a coastal touring route that starts south of Sydney, passing over Sea Cliff Bridge and on to the seaside villages north of Wollongong. The Sydney Melbourne Coastal Drive continues the drive south, passing through pretty seaside towns and villages, past quiet beaches and bays, and more than 30 national parks and reserves.

If you'd prefer to travel by train, CityRail is the best option with regular commuter and express trains leaving from Sydney's Central Station. This scenic route has many places to stop along the way - at Stanwell Park beach, Austimer, Wollongong, Minnamurra and Kiama. Bomaderry (Nowra) is the last stop.

You can fly to Moruya with Regional Express (which is a 25-minute drive from Batemans Bay) and Merimbula.

If you're travelling from Canberra, it's a two-and-a-half hour drive through historic Bungendore and Braidwood to Batemans Bay.

Useful links for travel to the South Coast are New South Wales weather and traveller information for NSW roads.
