Driving down the coast and stopped in to Guerilla Bay just out of curiosity. I have never been so taken with a beach as this. It was a beautiful South Coast day to begin with but the stunning rock formations and views, the peaceful water and the huge crashing waves on the rocks will forever remain in my memory. One of my favouritie places in all my travels.

I've been to Honeymoon Bay, stunning little place and great for snorkelling!

Thanks for sharing . I live on the north south coast and have booked a campervan adventure with my daughters to Bendalong. Can’t wait to check out these beaches you mentioned....

Great post, many thanks. In my experience accessing Snake Bay when track wet no easy thing. Deciding to walk back to Pretty beach via the waterline on a rising tide even more of a challenge.

I spent a year in Tuross Head. I can’t believe I missed all these beautiful places! Was working….sigh

I would add McKenzies Beach, south of Malua Bay - although it is very popular and can be busy in summer.

I am originally from the Gold Coast and move to Moore Park Beach. I would have to say it is the best kept secret. Beautiful beach and coastline and the residents are wonderful and welcoming. I never go back to the GC.

As an ex local of Currarong, I.agree Wilson's is perfect. Also add Long Beach and Target. Best beaches in the world but then again I am totally biased.

Loved those choices. I love the South coast of Australia on both sides of our island. Please don't remove this video for some years as I will be referring back to it from time to time! I loved the fact that you stayed away from the larger more iconic Australian beaches in your choices. Considering NSW has thousands of beaches, I think it is great that you are highlighting all the smaller and 'seemingly' insignificant beaches. 

What people/tourists should be informed of is that NSW beaches are 'typically' nicer than those sought in QLD (I have lived in a number of places in QLD and studied coastal geology on the east coast of Australia and I understand why my claim is true). The reasons for this claim are; the water is typically cooler and hence avoids the algae blooms that can plague warmer waters; the coastlines consists of headlands of rocky substrates - the weathering of which produces some of the best sand - as evidenced by the beaches in between those headlands, these rocky coastlines are more precipitous in profile than QLD beaches, which are typically flatter and more prograded in shape. This precipitous shape aids in the settling of sands and turbid elements to the sea floor more quickly. 

Alternatively, QLD beaches and their surrounding areas are typically shallower on average, have finer sediments that stay in suspension longer making waters less clear. Readers might believe an error in my generalisations here as exceptions do exist - Burleigh Heads for example, but the above should be viewed as a general rule. NSW is also a lot closer to the colder and rough waters of the great southern ocean which blow northward up both sides of our island. Hence, constant southerly currents move clean, cooler waters from the south, north up along the coast providing a constant renewal of waters. A number of other less obvious factors also are at work in this phenomena, which are too complex to discuss here. 

We should all be thankful of the pleasures and treasures we enjoy down south here in NSW - especially the cooler temps and less dangerous sea-life. The QLD coastline has its own extensive list of majestic attractions, such as the GBR, coastal islands, famous shipwrecks, etc., and of which, I have had many years to appreciate - some of which are beaches themselves. Around the Tropic of Capricorn to the north, the 'face' of the Australian coastline changes dramatically. This is similarly true of the west coast.

I hope this has been of interest to those of your channel. Sub and liked. 👍

You appear to live on the south coast and enjoy that area. If your ever up Sydney way and wish to see some gems of beaches up here (no not the known ones) but the lessor known ones, reply here and I'll share and email and or show you around if you would like.
