You’ve hit the right state when you’re into beaches. NSW’s coastline offers plenty of opportunities to practise your surfing skills, to swim and defy the waves or to doze in the warmth of the sun. In the northern part of the state, you will find the extensive beaches of Narrabeen and Avalon. North of Sydney, try Nambucca beach or Byron Bay. The latter is also better known as the surfing Mecca. South of Sydney, check out Ulladulla and Pambula beach. But why not try Sydney’s beaches first? Bondi, Bronte and Tamarama offer a good combination of shops, sand and waves.
