The Grand Pacific Drive is one of Australia’s most scenic coastal road trips, stretching 140 kilometres from the Royal National Park through the Illawarra and Shoalhaven regions of New South Wales. Beginning amongst lush rainforest and dramatic cliffs, the drive crosses the iconic Sea Cliff Bridge before winding through beautiful coastal towns including Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama, Gerringong and Jervis Bay.

Along the way, you’ll find endless experiences from stunning beaches, waterfalls and national parks to coastal walks, boutique wineries, oceanfront cafés and adventure activities. Whether you’re planning a weekend escape or a longer South Coast road trip, the Grand Pacific Drive is packed with unforgettable stops from Sydney all the way to the Sapphire Coast.

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.
