Is this the perfect Aussie bush beach? Almost two kilometres of golden sand, stretching between dense bushland and pristine ocean, Gillards is great for surfing, swimming and spotting native wildlife.
It is also fantastic for fishing, with salmon, bream, tailor and whiting all common and after dark, night jewfish and gummy sharks.
A popular campsite, Gillards is bordered by the bush and the beach in stunning Mimosa Rocks National Park. There are 70 unmarked campsites and the grounds can be accessed by caravans, motorhomes and trailers.
There’s lots of wildlife here, and at night you might spot a potoroo, a small marsupial with a long nose.
From Tathra head north on the Tathra-Bermagui Road for seven kilometres, then turn onto Gillards Road and follow the signs.
Pure joy as you wake to the sunrise. Awe as you make it to the snowy peak. A sense of adventure as you motor across red plains. The relief of rejuvenation as you wade into an alpine stream. Connection as you taste native, fragrant leaves. A sense of belonging as you return to your favourite holiday house. Freedom as you dash into the waves. Discover the endless feelings a visit to NSW can inspire.
