Get beached: Put the NSW South Coast town of Batemans Bay on your radar for your next beachside holiday.<\/h5>\n

There really is something for every kind of beachgoer in Batemans Bay<\/a>, on the NSW South Coast<\/a>. Batemans Bay beaches amount to 83 confetti\u2019d along the coastline.<\/p>\n

The area is home to a designated marine park and sanctuary, which has 85,000-odd hectares of estuaries, creeks, rivers and lakes and is home to dolphins, seals, penguins and migrating whales.\u00a0 There are sheltered nooks for families at Corrigan\u2019s Beach, recreational fishing spots at Long Beach, dog-friendly Tomakin Beach, stunning Surf Beach and slate-coloured Mossy Point where you can spot stingrays. Here are 10 of the best beaches in and around Batemans Bay.<\/p>\n

1. Broulee Beach<\/h2>\n

You will see surfers slogging through the churning waves at this beautiful beach break which is surrounded by a tangle of rich greenery.<\/p>\n

The long curve of beach is protected by Broulee Island, some 20 kilometres from Batemans Bay, and is known to surfers who you will find huddled around the lookout gazing out to sea.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t go to Broulee Beach without visiting Mossy Point Cafe. It\u2019s one of the best places to enjoy coffee and breakfast in Batemans Bay. Want to learn to surf? Hit up one of the salty-haired instructors at Broulee Surf School<\/a>. It\u2019s one of the best things to do in Batemans Bay.<\/p>\n

Best for:<\/b>\u00a0This is a favourite beach for surfers, fishos and families. In fact, it has some of the best surf on the NSW South Coast.<\/p>\n

2. Corrigans Beach<\/h2>\n

This calm cove is on the bucket-and-spade lists of families road-tripping to the NSW South Coast<\/a>. Located just four kilometres south of Batemans Bay, it is known for its calm pearly waters and glassy conditions and proximity to local cafes. Corrigans Beach is in Batehaven and has two concrete boat ramps protected by a break wall, which makes it a lure for fishermen and women.<\/p>\n

Best for:<\/b>\u00a0Fisher folk and families who flit back and forth between the beach and the playground at Corrigans Beach Reserve. There is an off-leash area at this beach so worth a detour for those with dogs.<\/p>\n

3. Denhams Beach<\/h2>\n

Denhams Beach is the most northerly beach in a string of three Batemans Bay beaches that bracelet the NSW South Coast. Although it\u2019s ostensibly in suburbia, it\u2019s very much an in-the-know destination for Canberrans who have been keeping it on the down-low for decades. It is the first surf beach that is set to the south of Batemans Bay and it\u2019s a popular beach for beginners. Go with the current of locals flowing down from their holiday houses and keep an eye out for dolphins.<\/p>\n

Best for:<\/b>\u00a0Families and those who want to learn to surf at one of Batemans Bay beaches.<\/p>\n

4. Long Beach<\/h2>\n

Long Beach is a suburb of Batemans Bay in the Eurobodalla Shire. Bring some coffee in a thermos, pack your fishing rod and a camp chair and walk to one of the rock ledges in the bays that link up to Long Beach. Long Beach stretches from Square Head to Chain Bay with a small headland that divides Long Beach from Maloneys Beach. There are tables here that are prime real estate for picnics. Pick up some oysters and fresh seafood and enjoy.<\/p>\n

Best for<\/b>: Long beach walks and recreational fishing; this Batemans Bay beach lies on the north bank of the Clyde. Pick up some oysters to enjoy a picnic.<\/p>\n

5. Mossy Point Beach<\/h2>\n

There are a lot of must-dos in Mossy Point. It\u2019s one of the boho-chic outlying villages in Batemans Bay and it\u2019s as low-key as it is lovely. Fuel up on coffee from The Mossy Cafe and head into the cold bright day with Region X on a half-day sea kayak tour. You can also choose your own adventure and carve off up Candlagan Creek, which is popular with families with little ones as it\u2019s a protected place to swim.<\/p>\n

Best for:<\/b> Spotting sting rays that congregate around the Mossy Point Boat Ramp. Spot whales during the season, and keep your eyes peeled for dolphins, turtles and sea eagles.<\/p>\n

6. Malua Bay Beach<\/h2>\n

They come in a steady line. Birdwatchers with binoculars. A fisherman who looks like he\u2019s pulled an all-nighter. A family trying to tucker out their kids ahead of their daytime nap.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a patrolled beach during summer and is popular year-round as some great accommodation options are nearby<\/a>. Malua Bay is also one of the most consistent beaches for surfing \u2013 a fact validated by the clots of surfers who you will see here at dusk and dawn, their eyes like shutters, squinting at the horizon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Best for<\/b>: Surfers and families who base themselves here during a Batemans Bay beach holiday.<\/p>\n

7. Surf Beach<\/h2>\n

Head to this Batemans Bay beach before dawn and your footprints are likely to be the first imprinted in the sand. A couple walking their labradoodle might follow. Or a young couple with a baby who tumble down to the low tide to splash in the shallows. It won\u2019t be too long after this that you will see instructors from one of the local surf schools pulling into the car park.<\/p>\n

These are just a few of the scenarios that might play out at Surf Beach, which is a patrolled beach during summer. Dogs are permitted at the Surf Beach Reserve.<\/p>\n

Best for<\/b>: Beginner surfers who will appreciate the gentle ocean break. Sign up for a lesson with one of the local surf schools.<\/p>\n

8. Tomakin Beach<\/h2>\n

Dog lovers unite at Tomakin Beach, which has a 24-hour off-leash area for dogs. It\u2019s also worth a detour for keen snorkellers as the water is clear and calm. Craggy rock formations bookend the beach and is a popular place to swim and fish.<\/p>\n

The dog-friendly section of the beach stretches from Tomaga River Beach and from Cove Beach headland to the boat ramp at Mossy Point. Wanna see some stingrays? Head here at dusk when the sky explodes with colour and the rays are most active.<\/p>\n

Best for<\/b>: Those with a penchant for a pet-friendly holiday in Batemans Bay.<\/p>\n

9. Wimbie Beach<\/h2>\n

Wander along Wimbie Beach when the sun is bouncing off the sea in the early morning light. It\u2019s the best time of day to launch a kayak, walk the dogs (on a time-share basis), or fossick about in the rock pools with your kids. Bring your boogie boards to push the kids off on a few waves. And bring your binoculars to try and catch a glimpse of the resident dolphins or whales (during the season).<\/p>\n

Best for: <\/b>Families with fur babies who don\u2019t want to stray too far from shops and cafes.<\/p>\n

10. Caseys Beach\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Caseys Beach is like a curved bracket in front of the seaside village of Batehaven. It is protected by a seawall and flanked by rocky headlands where you will find seagulls pecking about in the rock pools. And sea eagles soaring overhead. Visit at dawn and dusk to avoid the glare of the bright sunshine so you can be in a position to spot dolphins, which make regular cameos off the coast here. It\u2019s fabulous to see how serious the locals are about their lifestyle here. Polish up on your beach talk. \u201cDay for it.\u201d \u201cHow good is this?\u201d \u201cAlright for some!\u201d<\/p>\n
