About Mollymook

Just over three hours south along the Grand Pacific Drive from Sydney, Mollymook is famed for its spectacular beach. A two-kilometre curve of golden sand with a reputation for excellent waves and crystal clear waters, it’s a beautiful New South Wales destination for outdoorsy adventurers. Cool and contemporary accommodation options abound, with the best places to stay in Mollymook including intimate B&Bs as well as striking seaside hotels.

Mollymook Beach is framed on its southern side by the Mollymook Golf Club, which boasts a spectacularly scenic course. Play a round, or take a dip in the nearby natural rock pool, popular for snorkelling and swimming. There are diving opportunities around the headlands and the reef, as well as some great surf schools for those looking to ride the waves in season. Spot migratory whales and pods of dolphins from shore, or on fun-filled boat trips.

Back in town, you’ll find lively cafés, bars and eateries, as well as surf shops and boutiques stocking pieces by up-and-coming Australian designers. Head further inland for hiking and cycling trails in marvellous Morton National Park, or try kayaking and paddle boarding on Burrill Lake. Bannisters Point, at the northern tip of the beach, plays host to Rick Stein’s tantalising seafood restaurant — a hands-down highlight at one of the best places to stay in Mollymook. Book your table well in advance during peak season!
