Closest to home
Surfside Beach
Start with a barefoot morning walk, a relaxed paddle or an easy sunset stroll just a short walk from the retreat.
Use our local guide to shape a relaxed family weekend, choose one memorable day out or simply find somewhere good to eat after the beach.
Easy escape Close to the beach. Close to the Bay.
Start by the water
A beach for every kind of day
Stay close to home at Surfside, choose a playground-and-picnic day in the Bay or follow the coast south for surf and wide-open sand. Always check local conditions and Beachsafe before swimming.
Easy with children
Corrigans Beach
A family-friendly bay beach with a playground nearby, making it an easy choice when little travellers want variety.
A classic coast day
Broulee Beach
Head south for a longer beach outing, coastal scenery and gentle conditions that are popular with beginner surfers.
Easy family activities
Simple days are often the best ones
Keep plans flexible and choose one good outing at a time. There is plenty to do without turning your getaway into a timetable.
Follow the Batemans Bay foreshore
Choose a section of the shared cycleway for an easy ride or walk, then pause by the water for a picnic or ice cream.
Paddle the Clyde River
Book a guided kayak experience or keep the day simple with a gentle waterfront walk and a fresh seafood lunch.
Make the most of the retreat
Balance sightseeing with pool time, a casual game of tennis and an easy evening in the shared games room.
A family favourite
Go wild at Mogo
Mogo Wildlife Park makes an easy centrepiece for a South Coast family day.
Wander through spacious bushland habitats, see rare and endangered animals and add a keeper talk or bookable encounter if your family wants something extra. The park is south of Batemans Bay, so it pairs naturally with lunch in Mogo or a beach stop on the way back.
Opening times, encounters and ticket details can change. Check the official park website before setting out.
