With a population of around 1,800, it offers a tranquil escape with pristine beaches like Corrigans Beach and the Clyde River estuary perfect for kayaking and fishing. The vibe is laid-back and family-friendly, with local cafes serving fresh seafood and a small shopping village. Nature lovers can explore the nearby Eurobodalla National Park or watch pelicans at the waterfront. The town’s compact size makes it easy to walk or cycle, and it serves as a quiet base for exploring the broader Eurobodalla region. Summer brings warm weather and holiday crowds, while autumn and spring offer mild temperatures and fewer visitors.
