Cudmirrah Beach

Amongst the many beautiful beaches on the South Coast of NSW, Cudmirrah Beach is one of the many pristine ones, easily accessible and patrolled by life savers. The 3 kilometre surf beach is backed by dunes and low scrub. See the South Coast Map.

Located just south of Sussex Inlet NSW, there is a Surf Club there, providing surf beach patrols. If you are not experienced with Australian surf beach conditions, due to rips and undertows that may accompany bigger surf days, only swim between the flags, when the beach is patrolled.

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 always much safer to swim at patrolled beaches due to unexpected rips and undertows.
