Hidden Cove Batemans Bay
About this location
A secluded coastal cove accessible via a 15-minute walk through native bush. The cove features dramatic sandstone rock formations, crystal-clear water revealing the sandy bottom, and a natural amphitheatre of bush on three sides. The combination of geology, water clarity, and isolation is genuinely rare this close to a major highway. Government permit required through NSW Crown Lands — our team facilitates applications. No truck access beyond the car park; equipment must be hand-carried to the cove.
