Beaches of the South Coast
There are many beaches along the South Coast, located in National Parks on the coast, or more accessible ones near towns and villages, complete with picnic and BBQ facilities.
Some even have camping facilities, or have beach resorts and caravan parks nearby. There are also those along rivers and peaceful lagoons with crystal clear waters, some of them also have picnic areas and BBQ facilities.
Not all the beaches are patrolled by lifesavers, though those with Surf Life Saving Clubs usually are during the busier periods, such as holidays, weekends and school vacations.
Beach Safety
Due to this region being a relatively undeveloped part of the Australia NSW Coast, a number of beaches are not patrolled by lifesavers on a regular basis. Always check to see if they are and when. Unless your an experienced surfer or diver, it is much safer to swim at patrolled beaches due to unexpected rips and undertows.
