Latest reviews on Shoalhaven City's beaches

Silica Cove Beach
10 sarah jenkins

To get to Silica Cove, simply drive through Honeymoon Bay campground until you reach a parking area. From there, walk through a green gate. Along the way, you'll come across a toilet facility. The walk to the beach is fairly easy and leads you to a stunning and peaceful shoreline. Additionally, there is a shipwreck located on the rocks. If you're up for it, you can either turn back or continue along the loop to also explore Target Beach. The signs are easy to follow throughout the route.

Wilsons Beach
10 J-Pat

This beach is a hidden gem, tucked away in a secluded cove. The water is incredibly clear and teeming with fish, making it an ideal spot for snorkeling. Despite strong winds, the cove provides a sheltered area, free from crashing waves. However, just beyond the cove, the water can get quite choppy. To access this beach, you'll need to embark on a 20-minute hike from the Abraham's Bosom catpark, following the signs for Wreck Walk.

Manyana Beach
10 Jessa Kaya

Top destination on the planet. A little journey away from Sydney but absolutely worth the effort. The coastlines are stunning and you always manage to secure a spot on them from my personal encounters.

Monument Beach
10 Lynx Wren

This place is absolutely stunning. There is a small rock shelf at the southern end of the beach with a rock pool that is perfect for kids to play in. You can also find little fish and other sea creatures in the pool.

Cabbage Tree Beach
10 Nico Delgado

This beach is fantastic and the water is top-notch.
