Surf Beach Suburb Profile

Quiet, secluded and oh-so-pretty, Surf Beach is a breath of fresh air. Down the road from Batemans Bay, this seaside suburb is popular for everything its name suggests…surfing. The two beaches – Surf Beach and Wimbie Beach – are the suburb’s beating heart. Gentle waves and their picture-perfect setting make them an ideal spot for surfing, swimming, fishing and kayaking, while the foreshore reserves are all about leisurely picnics by the waterside. Living in Surf Beach means having access to these beautiful beaches right at your doorstep, providing an idyllic coastal lifestyle. 

Although Surf Beach caters for locals’ day-to-day needs with a supermarket, pharmacy and takeaway shops along Beach Road, when locals want more, Batemans Bay, with its line-up of waterfront cafes and restaurants, delectable seafood offerings and shopping centre, is just a 10-minute drive up the road. And for families choosing the hassle-free lifestyle of Surf Beach, neighbouring Sunshine Bay and Batehaven provide quality schools. 

In the summer months, Surf Beach’s rentals and private holiday homes are heaving with people eager to unwind from the hustle and bustle of city living. And although the beach is the suburb’s biggest drawcard, it’s also the surrounding bushland and National Park with its ample walking trails that offer people a chance to truly feel away from it all. Living in Surf Beach offers a unique blend of relaxation, nature, and the tranquil rhythm of coastal life.
