Batemans Bay, NSW Australia
| Address | Batemans Bay
New South Wales, Australia |
Modern restaurants, a great golf course, friendly clubs and shopping temptations abound. Chains of beautiful beaches and National Parks surround "The Bay". A huge variety of accommodation choices is available from resorts to houseboats, motels and tourist parks and many self-catering options.
To the north and south, committed visitors make Long Beach, Batehaven, Surf Beach and Malua Bay their special seaside escapes. Up river, the heavily-
forested mountain hinterland provides a catchment delivering the purest water on the east coast of Australia. The oysters alone will bring you back again
and again without breaking the bank.
On the Clyde River’s broad estuary, Batemans Bay is the launching point for houseboat adventures along the river’s 38 navigable kilometres. There are
numerous beautiful beaches nearby and surfing, boating, snorkelling and fishing experiences for all. The beaches are popular with everyone from the
youngest of families to surfers looking for a good challenge.
Forest and coastal walks are popular, including the historic Corn Trail, Murramarang National Park, Shallow Crossing and South Durras. In spring, watch for
magnificent migrating whales on their way to the southern oceans to nurse their young.
Batemans Bay offers local seafood restaurants, casual cafes, art galleries and studios. Birdland Animal Park has close encounters with native fauna, while
further south at Mogo Zoo, get up close to many exotic species. Mogo also has many arts and craft shops, galleries and cafes and a gold rush village re-
creation.
The Catalina Country Club is one of the best 27-hole golf courses in Australia. Batemans Bay is a great base for the fishing trip of a lifetime. From the
screaming run of a marlin or yellowfin tuna to the pink and blue sheen of a gleaming snapper – don’t forget to take the camera. An experienced band of
charter operators can put you in the action all year.
