Shoalhaven

Shoalhaven sits on the NSW South Coast, starting around 2 hours south of Sydney. It spans about 125 km of coastline, with beach towns, river villages, national parks and country stops spread between the coast and hinterland.

A Shoalhaven holiday can move between Berry, Kangaroo Valley and Milton for a slower country weekend, Huskisson and the Jervis Bay area for beaches and wildlife boat tours, then Mollymook and Ulladulla for coastal walks and relaxed seaside stays. Nowra sits near the centre of the region, with smaller towns and villages spread along the coast and inland.

Below you’ll find destination guides for some of our favourites among the 49 towns and villages in the region, including places to stay, eat and explore, plus practical itineraries for planning a weekend or longer stay in Shoalhaven.
