South Coast

You’re spoilt for beautiful beaches on the South Coast. Explore Mill Beach, Pretty Beach, and Depot Beach around Murramarang National Park, or Surf Beach and Malua Bay near Batemans Bay.

Further south, stretch out on Broulee Beach or discover the wild beauty of Bingie Beach. Around Tathra, swim at Tathra Beach, explore the coast of Mimosa Rocks National Park, or cool off where the Bega River meets the sea at Mogareeka Inlet.

Continue south for the calm, clear waters of Pambula River Mouth, before hitting Merimbula favourites including Bar Beach, Short Point, and Main Beach.

Are there ever! In fact, you needn’t leave the holiday park to have a fun-filled day with the kids. Think waterparks, waterslides, pools, playgrounds, pedal karts, mini golf, outdoor movies, school holiday kids’ activities, and of course, direct beach access for endless fun in the sand and the surf.

Further afield, meet the animals at Mogo Wildlife Park, make a splash at Batemans Bay’s Bay Pavilions aquatic centre, or learn to surf at Broulee Beach. Feed the calves (then grab an ice cream) at Bodalla Dairy, cruise from Narooma to Barunguba Montague Island to spot seals, or hit Tathra’s beginner friendly mountain bike trails. Further south, try traditional Aboriginal weaving in Bournda National Park, discover marine life at Merimbula Aquarium, spend the day riding and sliding at Magic Mountain, or uncover the fascinating story of Old Tom at the Eden Killer Whale Museum.

From beachfront villas to clifftop glamping, six beachside holiday parks and resorts offer a stay for every kind of South Coast escape.

Step from a deluxe villa onto the sand in a national park setting at Murramarang, wake to sweeping ocean views from a glamping tent in Merimbula, or set up the caravan just metres from the beach at any of our destinations.

Families can spread out in two- or three-bedroom villas with outdoor living areas, while affordable studios, cabins, powered sites, ensuite sites, and pet-friendly options make it easy to find a stay to suit your crew and budget.

NRMA Batemans Bay Holiday Resort, NRMA Broulee Holiday Park, NRMA Tathra Beachfront Holiday Park, NRMA Merimbula Beach Holiday Resort and NRMA Shellharbour Beachside Holiday Park all welcome four-legged holidaymakers, with pet-friendly sites and selected cabins, plus direct access to off-leash dog beaches.

The South Coast is made for soaking up the great outdoors. Hike through coastal national parks, learn to surf, paddle sparkling estuaries by kayak, or hit the mountain bike trails around Tathra. Spot whales and seals along the coast, taste oysters fresh from the farm, discover Aboriginal cultural experiences, or slow things down with cool-climate wines and long lunches. From wild landscapes to incredible local flavours, there’s plenty to fill a weekend – or a whole week.

There’s something to love in every season. Summer brings long beach days, swimming, surfing, and balmy evenings, while autumn and spring offer mild weather, fewer crowds, and ideal conditions for hiking, biking, and exploring. Winter has its own magic, with migrating whales cruising the coastline and cosy places to eat and stay.

Visit midweek or outside the summer rush and you could find even more reasons to escape, with our seasonal offers such as free nights, midweek discounts, member specials, and kids stay and play free deals making a South Coast getaway even better value.
