NSW South Coast

Kiama, Jervis Bay and beyond — easy coastal touring south of Sydney with some of the whitest sand in the country.

1 caravan park

The South Coast runs from the Illawarra (Kiama, Wollongong) down through Jervis Bay and on toward the Victorian border — a caravan-friendly, sealed-road stretch with a strong holiday-park network the whole way. Easts Beach Holiday Park at Kiama is a good example of the region's style: beachfront, easy access, close to town.

Jervis Bay further south is the standout for water clarity and famously white sand — worth a dedicated few days rather than a quick drive-through. Like the Mid North Coast, this is standard-caravan touring with no special vehicle requirements; the appeal is the density and quality of stops rather than any driving challenge.

Summer school holidays are the peak booking period, especially around Kiama and Jervis Bay; visit in shoulder season for a quieter, still-mild experience.
