Apart from a few sandy patches around the Clyde River bridge, Surfside Beach is the most westerly beach on the northern shore of Batemans Bay.

Surfside Beach

Access is from the Princes Highway – turn onto Wharf Road at the northern end of the bridge, follow it around to Myamba Parade and look for the beach carpark near the small shopping centre. There are several walkways that lead to the beach along the length of Myamba Parade. The beach, decorated with a bright garland of flowers, is broken by a small headland that leads to Cullendulla Reserve and enjoys a very protected position behind Square Head. Taking advantage of this secure location are many water craft, moored snugly just offshore. Calm shallow water for many metres and gentle, lapping waves also make Surfside Beach  an ideal place for children. There are however, no children’s play equipment and the beach is short on public amenities but a handy shopping centre is just a short walk across the road. Here you can buy just about anything from oysters to ice cream.

For those who prefer longer walks, there is an easy walking track that takes you into the Cullendulla Creek Nature Reserve. The entrance can be found just past the carpark at the eastern end of the beach. The track leads you over the small headland and on to a  small beach in the reserve, terminating at the mouth of the Cullendulla Creek. From here you realise how close you are to nature, yet still so close to town.
