Narooma Oyster Festival: 5 – 7 May 2023

Set in the heart of Rock Oyster Country, the Narooma Oyster Festival is a favourite on the New South Wales food and beverage calendar.  Discover the region’s slow food movement and produce, meet local and visiting chefs and enjoy the rich artistic and cultural talents of our people.

View Whales From Land

Whale watching from land can be a rewarding experience. If you can’t get out on a whale watching tour you can still get to have a whale watching experience from shore.  where you can observe whales behaviour. Humpback whales are commonly sighted but you may also see other whale species. 

Bays & Coves

Coves and bays offer calmer conditions, generally with more protection from ocean swells and winds. Bays and coves make an ideal beach environment for families, swimming and snorkelling.

The protected conditions also make bays and coves ideal options for launching your kayak or getting out on your SUP. If you prefer surfing, check out our beaches section on this page.

Tilba Market

When you visit the charming historic township of Central Tilba on a Saturday morning you can’t go past the Tilba Market, an authentic local farmers market  held in the Big Hall every week.

Featured in Australia’s River Cottage, this weekly community market hosts a variety of food stalls selling a range of products including fresh fruit and vegetables, free range eggs

Whale Watching Tours

From late winter through spring daily whale watching tours depart from Narooma, and depending on whale movements and numbers, also from Batemans Bay. Sea conditions, whale sightings and the stage of the annual migration will dictate how often whale watching cruises are available.

Your whale watching adventure will be led by an experienced skipper or guide. 

Beaches

This is no Gold Coast and you definitely won’t find a Bondi lookalike in this part of the world. Often hidden by a border of tall native eucalypts and nestled between two headlands, many of Eurobodalla’s gorgeous beaches (around 83 all up) are places you need to work a little harder to find. But it’s definitely worth the effort.
