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.
@visitshoalhaven might be known for its beaches - but venture inland and you’ll find one of regional Australia’s most unique cultural experiences: @bundanontrust 🍃
Created on the former property of artist Arthur Boyd, Bundanon is an architectural wonder carved into the hillside. It’s part gallery, part bush retreat, part living artwork - where glassy interiors open up to native landscapes, and every corner invites you to slow down and look closer 🖼️🦘
There’s something magical about the way it blends art, land and story.

Early mornings at Killalea Regional Park in @visitshellharbour have their own kind of magic ✨
The air is cool, the light is golden, and the world feels calm - just waves rolling in and birds starting to stir.
If you’ve never seen the sun rise here, you’re missing something special.

Autumn on the @sapphirecoastnsw? It’s pure coastal bliss - minus the crowds 🍂
As the days grow cooler, the beaches take on a new kind of beauty. The air is crisp, the light is soft, and every stretch of sand feels like it was made just for you.
Explore secluded coves, stroll along dramatic headlands, or simply sit and watch the waves roll in - it’s a reminder that the best adventures often happen in the quiet seasons.

Some beaches are beautiful… and then there’s Long Beach 💙
Tucked near Currarong in @visitshoalhaven, this slice of coastal heaven comes with white sand, glassy water, and not a soul in sight. No cafés, no crowds - just pure, salty serenity.
The kind of place you think only exists in postcards? Found it.

A little slice of laid-back heaven!
