Sweeping from Kangaroo Valley our northern border across to Durras North our southern border, the Shoalhaven is framed by mountains, coastal plains and 100 magnificent beaches.
Our 49 towns and villages are home to over 100,000 residents and thriving native wildlife. We also host 300,000 visitors each year.
Living in the Shoalhaven means an abundance of lakes, great surf beaches, beach fishing, watersports, excellent bushwalking tracks, sporting fields, and community centres and art galleries.
It’s an active lifestyle with a rich local culture of food and fresh produce, wine and arts festivals.
