secret coves…
Stretching from Sydney’s Royal
National Park to Eden, near the
Victorian border, the South Coast of
NSW forms a string of pristine beaches
and bays, backed by a hinterland
that includes more than 30 national
parks, marine parks and reserves.
Here you’ll fi nd glittering white sands
– renowned as some of the whitest
in the world – and an abundance of
wildlife, from penguins to whales.
Take the spectacular Grand Pacifi c
Drive and discover pretty seaside
towns and historic villages where
you can browse in country markets
and charming specialty stores.
Dive under a historic wharf, learn
about the killer whale that once
guided whalers to their prey or just
relax on an uncrowded beach.
On the South Coast you’ll fi nd your
own piece of paradise.
