Grand Pacific Drive is a 140 kilometre scenic coastal drive taking you through lush rainforests starting in the Royal National Park, over the Sea Cliff Bridge and through the coastal townships of Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama and the Shoalhaven region, on the stunning South Coast of New South Wales.
There are endless experiences to be enjoyed along your way, from adrenaline-pumping adventure activities to delicious food and wine, family discoveries, natural wonders and too many beaches to count!
You can choose to make your way back to Sydney via the charming Southern Highlands or continue heading south to the Victorian border through the picturesque regions of Eurobodalla and Sapphire Coast.

Where wild beauty meets ancient history - Beowa National Park on the @sapphirecoastnsw near @visiteden is a coastal wonderland waiting to be explored 😍
Take the Pinnacles Loop and walk through whispering eucalypts to a jaw-dropping lookout over the Pacific. On land, nature flexes its artistic muscle with the Pinnacles, a striking red-and-white cliff formation shaped over 65 million years.
Visit between July and November, and the ocean might just surprise you with whales and dolphins dancing in the waves! 👀

Bermagui - a little slice of paradise on the @sapphirecoastnsw where the beaches are stunning, the ocean pools are dreamy, and adventure is always around the corner 🌊
Fancy reeling in a big one? The continental shelf is just 20km offshore, making this a game-fishing hotspot! Or maybe you’d prefer a lazy day hopping between local wineries and fresh seafood spots?
Either way, Bermagui’s got you covered 🙌🏼
