The South Coast of NSW has long lured travellers with its pristine beaches and idyllic natural wonders. But it’s only recently that the area’s food and drink scene has begun alerting tourists to what locals already know: the South Coast isn’t just a place for playing and passing through, but an attractive destination unto itself.

Part of what makes the region so appealing is its vast expanse of untouched wilderness and the laid-back lifestyle of its beachside villages. An evening spent at The Huskisson Pub is made by the spectacular scenery of Point Perpendicular, try your hand at Oyster shucking in Wonboyn or spend a day wandering the beaches without seeing another soul.

From Wollongong to Sapphire Coast, here’s our guide to exploring the many pleasures of the South Coast.
