South Coast Attractions 
The South Coast of New South Wales, from Batemans Bay to the Victorian border, is a fisherman's paradise. This stretch of coast offers an attractive variety of spectacular scenery against a backdrop of the dark summits of the Great Dividing Range - gentle hills, lakes, inlets and forests. The climate is mild throughout the year. Strung along the coast are a series of small holiday resorts offering a wide range of accommodation (much in demand during the main holiday seasons: advance booking advisable).
The most southerly places on the coast are the old fishing village of Eden and the almost depopulated settlement of Boydtown, both once prosperous whaling stations.
Batehaven features a Shell Museum.
