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.

Some beaches are beautiful… and then there’s Long Beach 💙
Tucked near Currarong in @visitshoalhaven, this slice of coastal heaven comes with white sand, glassy water, and not a soul in sight. No cafés, no crowds - just pure, salty serenity.
The kind of place you think only exists in postcards? Found it.

Sunrise over the bay, coffee in hand, and the promise of adventure all around ☕🌊
Batemans Bay is a coastal gem with big heart - offering the best of beach town vibes and easy access to the wild beauty of the @eurobodalla region.
A little slice of laid-back heaven!

Get ready to fall in love - again. It’s whale season! 🐋
From the @sapphirecoastnsw right up the South Coast, the ocean is putting on a show as these majestic creatures make their northern journey.
Keep watch… they’ve been known to make a splash!

Ocean views for days and a dash of maritime charm ⚓️
Warden Head Lighthouse in Ulladulla is a local legend - especially during whale season, when giants of the deep cruise past from May to November. From Jervis Bay to Bawley Point, the views are postcard-perfect.
Add it to your @visitshoalhaven itinerary, stat!

Every great road trip deserves a show-stopping moment - and Bald Hill Lookout delivers 💙
Perched high above the coastline, it’s where the Grand Pacific Drive starts serving up those jaw-dropping Illawarra views.
