New South Wales Beaches

Home of many of Australia's most famous and historic stretches of blue Pacific, white surf and sparkling sand; the New South Wales beaches welcome you!

Attracting families, adventure-seekers and holiday makers for visits to the very northern reaches of the state, all the way down to the southern coast, New South Wales beaches and seaside towns have it all. They are the perfect blend of newly-refurbished cafés, bistros and accommodation options accented by rolling surf, convenient beach facilities, a wealth of outdoor sports and secluded nature reserves.

In northern New South Wales, Ballina's and Byron Bay's beaches make for a great getaway. Shops, restaurants, hotels and enviable camp sites are found alongside some of the best NSW surfing beaches, with the famous Hunter Valley wine country and the lush Northern New South Wales mountain range as a brilliant backdrop.

South of Byron - Coffs Harbour, Newcastle and Port Macquarie offer year-round NSW surfing and host friendly surf schools.

Closer to Sydney, quaint beach towns like Manly welcome visitors by ferry through Darling Harbour, by car or other public transport, with city views and a great seaside, urban vibe.

Of all of the Sydney beaches, Bondi Beach is the most beloved and with Bondi Surf School Australia, you can learn from the best! Easily accessible to transportation and accommodation, enjoy a beach holiday in Sydney that takes you close to all of New South Wales' favourites, particularly if you fancy a climb on the Sydney Harbour Bridge or a performance at the Opera House.
