•  

  Long Beach

  Just a couple of minutes north of the Batemans Bay bridge, is the very quiet beach of Long Beach. The southern end of the beach is "dog friendly". The beach itself is a very sedate location and not all that well populated. This is a major attraction of the beach- not too many users, vehicles etc. It is indeed a very well kept secret. There are many beachside accommodation places which are very reasonably priced. The headlands north and south of the beach, also provide quite extensive views and easy walks. Plenty of wildlife sightings / visitations are common - Wallabies and Kangaroos laze around very commonly. Long Beach is close enough to "The Bay" but far enough to be "heaven".
