settlements in the south coast of NSW.  You can secure a Shellharbour resort, bed and breakfast or a caravan park in Shellharbour when planning a vacation in this beautiful holiday resort area.




Whether you plan to relax or seeking adventure during your beach
holidays, the south coast holiday resort has it all.  Stunning beaches,
excellent fishing, scuba diving, cycle tracks, walkways, picnic spots
and those who love extreme sports can try skydiving too.




A holiday in Shellharbour is not complete without trying out the
“yummy” fresh seafood at one of the classy eateries. There are up market
restaurants as well as many take away outlets and cafes if you wish to
pick some food and relax by the waterfront.  While on holiday look at
the exhibits at the Illawarra Light Rail Museum at Albion Park (taking a
ride on diesel and steam trains will be such family fun) and enjoy the
historic aircrafts at the Aviation Museum. For those who like art,
craft, jewellery and clothing must visit the markets on the 4^th
