I love beautiful Coastal Towns

Twin Towns of Toukley and The Entrance offers a pleasant retreat for Sydney siders escaping the crowded beaches and humdrum city life. 

The drive from Sydney to the Entrance and over to Nelson Bay takes you along some breathtaking views and beautiful coastal towns with plenty of outdoor activities including fishing, watersports, and boating. Forster is one of all-time favorite NSW coastal towns attracting large crowds in summer. 

South Coast offers an equally enjoyable outdoor adventure with a giant blowhole at Kiama, and beautiful coastal views of the Shoalhaven region stretching all the way to Merimbula Region. Batemans's Bay, Mollymook, and Ulladulla are popular stopovers along the way.
The twin towns of Forester and Tuncurry attract large crowds in summer. The serene waterfront is ideal for SUP, kayaking, and swimming. Forster is a great location for outdoor lovers with plenty of walkways and interesting places to explore in the hinterland.

I love mountains and national parks

Keep the Blue Mountains region on your list for this year. Scenic World in Katoomba is the epicenter of tourist activities in the region with the world's steepest incline, a cable car, and tropical rainforest.

A number of walking treks in the region take you to hidden spots with waterfalls and rapids. 

Alternatively, enjoy the laid-back towns of Leura, Wentworth Falls, and Black Heath.

Mount Kurangai National Park near Sydney and Boudi Boudi National Park in the Jervis Bay area are great locations for outdoor lovers.

I love Wine Country

Featured Destination in NSW

Jervis Bay, NSW
