Dive into the idyllic South Coast

The rich natural beauty of this region is hard to match, and it invites exploration and relaxation. Outdoorsy types can take their pick from windswept walks along stunning Culburra Beach, or a day trip to Pigeon House Mountain, which is just 1.5 hours away and provides spectacular views of the entire region. And for a more laid-back take on nature, the calm waters of Jervis Bay invite leisurely boat cruises and summertime paddles. There’s no shortage of local vineyards, oyster farms and breweries to visit and indulge in along the way!

Culture is also plentiful in the Nowra area, with local libraries, cinema, and the Shoalhaven Regional Gallery, which houses an impressive collection of works by Arthur Boyd, amongst others. The town’s calendar of civic events, including New Year’s Eve races and fireworks at the Archer Racecourse, provides regular opportunities to get out and about.
