Beaches & Water
Stroll to Tomakin Beach and Barlings Beach for soft sand, gentle waves and rock pools perfect for kids. The Tomaga River is glassy at high tide—great for kayaking, SUP, and fishing. Keep an eye out for dolphins year-round and migrating whales (roughly May–Nov).
Nature & Walks
Explore Melville Point for sunrise and coastal views, or wander the headland tracks of Eurobodalla National Park. Nearby Broulee Island Nature Reserve has an easy loop walk with spectacular coastal scenery.
Eat & Drink
Casual cafés and a friendly local club keep things simple—think morning coffee after a beach walk and relaxed pub-style dinners. More dining, markets, and fresh seafood await in Batemans Bay (about 15 mins’ drive).
Family Fun
Mogo (≈10 mins) offers village charm, galleries, and the popular Mogo Wildlife Park. Safe swimming spots, rock pooling, and sandcastle real estate are abundant along the Tomakin–Broulee stretch.
Day Trips
Surf lessons in Broulee (≈5–7 mins), river cruises and shopping in Batemans Bay, and scenic drives to seaside towns along the Eurobodalla coast. Approx. 2 hrs to Canberra and 4 hrs to Sydney by car.
In short: relaxed, coastal, and close to everything—your easy South Coast escape.
