Beautiful beach with white soft sand. Rocky edges providing marine life sightings in the tide…read morepools. Glorious sunrises, waves caressing the beach. Teaming with wildlife, lorikeets squawking in near by trees. Parking on the street with various entrances. Nice place to eat is the cooked goose.

So if there are other life forms out there looking down on earth, Hyams would be where they would…read moreflour their humans before frying - the sand here is blindingly white and has the texture of very fine flour. And that's still the case when Mother Nature dazzles us with her aesthetic violence - I can only imagine what this beach is like on a perfect summer day. It's also squeaky... and who doesn't love squeaky sand right?? Yeah yeah, deny all you want, but I know you all twist your feet a little as you take a step... We are 12 at heart after all!! Contrast this sand to the many shades of blue and you have a pretty sweet spot to relax on - I challenge you to find me someone who doesn't want to think of the Caribbean while lying on a beach a few hrs south of Sydney. From the lightest shades of turquoise to the deepest blues of fine china, you can't help but get a feeling of complete surrender. Salt cures all ... so breathe it in and let it work its magic. I can't comment on the temperature or the temperament of the water during summer but I can during autumn - it's damn cold ... yup legs pink and numb kinda damn cold. Apart from the obvious attraction I have to water, I was beyond excited that this beach actually has the potential for a load of shade too - always a bonus. Ohh and if you can't part with your furry four legged buddy, this beach is dog friendly.

An excellent getaway place in south coast region. It is best to book a beach house here so you can…read morehave easy access to the beach. Small and peaceful town, but you can always go to Nowra for shopping. Around 2 hours and 40 minutes from Sydney via Wollongong.

Deep in the Booderee National Park, where everything but yourself could kill you - is a 400m walk…read morethrough some pretty dense bush and a promise that it's all worth it at the end, a promise of paradise on earth - yes, just like the old 80s bounty commercial (minus that almighty ooze of chocolate over coconut and that weird guy smelling water). Ok, maybe it wasn't that dense, and maybe there were tyre tracks from a massive truck we could follow down, but I'm still claiming everything could kill you in the bush. Feeling a little chuffed that we walked through here in thongs (flip flops for any stateside folk) and no sign of ticks, leeches or eastern brown snakes, we ran out of the bush onto the beautiful sands of Scottish Rocks, kicking off our thongs as we made our way down to the water - dear god its glorious down here .. ohh and whats that?? Silence?? There wasn't another soul on this beach - not a single person. This is paradise indeed - nothing but the background noise of the waves lapping at the shore. This is a must stop in Booderee National Park and inf ya fancy, there is a camping ground just off Scottish Rocks (Bristol Point) so bring your gear and wake up to a bay sunrise !!! NOTE: cost to get into the national park is $11 per vehicle for a 48hr period
