Sprawl out on the fine sands, enjoy beach fishing, and go snorkelling or diving around the rocky headlands and central reef. Learn to surf with Mollymook Beach Surf School or Pam Burridge Surf Schools.
At the southern end of the beach is a large natural rock pool, great for swimming and snorkelling. Keep an eye out for dolphins playing in the surf. On the fifth Saturday of those month, Mollymook Beach Reserve becomes a marketplace as vendors sell home cooked goods, plants, art and more at Mollymook Beach Lions Markets.

Feast at restaurants and bars
For fresh flavours, head to Gwylo, an Asian fusion restaurant that serves up delights like local smoked fish with betel leaf and green mango. Dine at the renowned Rick Stein at Bannisters, enjoying local oysters, freshly caught seafood and panoramic ocean views. Treat yourself to the kingfish ceviche or lobster and prawn tagliatelle. Head upstairs to the Pool Bar or The Rooftop Bar and Grill to sip a cocktail as you soak in the views (and live music on Sundays).
