Mossy Point

Mossy Point is a serene coastal hamlet on the South Coast of New South Wales, about 150 km south of Sydney. Tucked between the Tasman Sea and the lush Eurobodalla hinterland, it offers a laid-back escape with spectacular rock platforms, pristine beaches, and a vibrant local food scene centered around the Mossy Point Café. This is the kind of place where you can paddle in calm coves, watch whales migrate from the headland, and eat freshly caught seafood within sight of the ocean.

Highlights & What to See

• Mossy Point Headland Lookout – A short walk from the carpark leads to panoramic views over Broulee Island and the coast. Prime whale-watching spot from June to November.
• Broulee Beach – A patrolled surf beach just north, perfect for swimming, surfing, or a long walk. The northern end is dog-friendly.
• Mossy Point Café – A local institution serving excellent coffee, breakfast, and lunch with a focus on local produce. Try the fish tacos.
• Eurobodalla Regional Botanic Garden – 10 minutes inland, this 42-hectare garden showcases native Australian plants with walking trails through rainforest and heath.

Suggested Time to Spend

Mossy Point is ideal for a relaxed day trip from Batemans Bay or as a stop on a South Coast road trip. If you’re staying in the area, half a day to explore the headland, have a meal, and enjoy the beach is sufficient. To fully appreciate the coastal walks and nearby attractions, consider an overnight stay.
