Batemans Bay is a quaint beach town popular with holidaymakers from Canberra and watersports aficionados due to the river, tight bay, and larger coastline. Popular water sports include surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and of course, swimming. What the town lacks in glamour and cultural sites, it makes up for with some of the most beautiful and undeveloped coastline in New South Wales, stretching for miles in either direction. The area is increasing its reputation for sustainable agriculture and produces what many consider to be the best oysters in Australia.

Batemans Bay is a small coastal town on the southern coast of New South Wales, at the estuary of the Clyde River meeting the Pacific Ocean.

The area is served by the regional Moruya Airport, 25 minutes south of town, and offers limited flights from Sydney, just an hour away by plane. Alternatively, Sydney is also a four hour drive up the coast.
