Explore Nature at Her Finest While Visiting Batemans Bay
Covering nearly 12,000 hectares of largely undisturbed coastline,
Murramarang National Park offers its visitors an incredible view of
majestic seascapes, rugged headlands, and four islands to explore.
Pebbly Beach, located within the Park, is extremely popular – partially
because of its incredible beauty but possibly because of the fascinating
symbiotic relationship between the wildlife and humans.
It is not unusual to see the grey kangaroo on the beach. What may seem
unusual is the ability to pet these wondrous animals. Even the native
birds fly onto the arms of visitors to get a treat or two.
Take an interesting bush walk through the magical forests or along the
pristine waters of unspoiled beaches. With more than 400 species of
flora, 200 plus native species of birds, including parrots, and more
than 39 native mammal species, there is no telling just what you may
encounter on your walk.
Batemans Bay lies on the estuary of the Clyde River and at one time was
a bustling timber and fishing town. Today, it is a thriving holiday
centre. Clyde River oysters are a mainstay of the community.
Connoisseurs of oysters, frequently hail those from Clyde River as the
best in the world.
Dozens of beaches, from gentle shallow waters to challenging surf
waters, make Batemans Bay a world-class holiday destination. Whether you
prefer to explore the beaches, the miles of serene bush walks, fabulous
fishing, petting kangaroos, or playing golf, there is something for
visitors of every age to do here.
Visit the Birdland Animal Park and cuddle up with a baby wombat or enjoy
a picnic on the beautifully landscaped grounds. Take a cruise on the
Clyde River, traversing from the Bay through the National Park and State
Forest, while relaxing under the glistening Australian sun as you
experience a diverse and every changing landscape of peaceful
tranquility.
You will want to stop at South Coast Glass to discover some of the most
spectacular flora and fauna – made of fine glass! Bill’s leadlight and
stained glass works are simply delightful.
While you are in the town of Batemans Bay, you will quickly understand
the attraction to the many retirees and young families who have chosen
to call “The Bay” home. A small village feeling with pure country
living, affordable accommodations, and world-class cuisine, along with
more choices of natural attractions than most places twenty times its
size has to offer, Batemans Bay is a true gem of the coast.
