Welcome to the Grand Pacific Drive

One drive. One Ocean. Endless Experiences

Grand Pacific Drive is a 140 kilometre scenic coastal drive taking you through lush rainforests starting in the Royal National Park, over the Sea Cliff Bridge and through the coastal townships of Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama and the Shoalhaven region, on the stunning South Coast of New South Wales.

There are endless experiences to be enjoyed along your way, from adrenaline-pumping adventure activities to delicious food and wine, family discoveries, natural wonders and too many beaches to count!

You can choose to make your way back to Sydney via the charming Southern Highlands or continue heading south to the Victorian border through the picturesque regions of Eurobodalla and Sapphire Coast.

Good morning, @visitwollongong! ☀️✨ 

There’s nothing like watching the sky put on a show over the harbour - every sunrise, a different masterpiece. 

Who’s catching the sunrise here with a coffee in hand? ☕️

Turquoise waters, epic scenery, and adventure on tap - welcome to Pambula River Mouth! 🌊✨ 

Tucked inside Pambula Beach’s southern headland and wrapped by Beowa National Park, this little slice of the @sapphirecoastnsw is sheltered from the swell, making it the place to kayak, SUP, or fish. 

The only question is… what’s your first move when you get here?

#grandpacificdrive #visitnsw #feelnsw #seeaustralia #sapphirecoast
Sunshine, sea breezes, and all the good stuff - @visitshoalhaven is serving up ocean adventures, epic whale watching, top notch wineries, and so much more 🙌🏼

The hardest part? Choosing what to do first! 🐳🍷

So, what’s your idea of the perfect Shoalhaven day?

#grandpacificdrive #visitnsw #feelnsw #seeaustralia #visitshoalhaven
Picnic with a view? Don’t mind if we do! 🍃🌊

Minnamurra Headland in @kiamansw is the ultimate spot to sit back, snack up, and soak in the epic views of Stack Island, the Minnamurra River, and endless ocean blues. 

Want even more scenery? Follow the Kiama Coast Walk as it curves around the headland - you won’t be disappointed. 

Who’s adding this to their weekend plans? 👀

Sharks? In @visitshellharbour? Yep! 🦈💙

Bushrangers Bay Aquatic Reserve is one of the best spots to snorkel or dive with Grey Nurse Sharks - majestic, docile, and downright mesmerising.

But let’s be good guests in their home! Keep a safe distance, no touching or feeding, and move nice and slow. Show them some respect, and you’ll get an unforgettable underwater experience in return.

Who’s keen for a snorkel? 👀

Ever seen a beach so pretty it doesn’t look real? 👀
