Growing up outside Sydney, I thought I had seen all the best places to visit in NSW. But that was a bit premature because we’d only ever really visited Sydney and the North Coast.
After we spent 18 months road-tripping around Australia, we covered more of NSW and finally visited the South Coast NSW, the Hinterland, and Country NSW.
I now realize that NSW is not just about east coast beach towns and Sydney. There are so many more places to visit in New South Wales that are off the beaten path, that are just as beautiful, if not more beautiful, than the places I knew growing up.
New South Wales has some of the best beaches in Australia, the highest mountain, the most relaxed beach towns, and one of the best cities in the world.

The Best Places To Visit in NSW
Whether you want to visit country towns, wine regions, mountain areas, and of course beach towns, you will find all this and more in our favourite places to visit in NSW below…
1. Jervis Bay
Jervis Bay is magical. Definitely the highlight of our visit down the South Coast and a place we’d like to explore more.
The beaches in this region are as good as anywhere in NSW, if not Australia. Hyams Beach has the Guinness World Record for the whitest sand in the world, and there is a thriving coral reef not too far from the shoreline.
The only downside is they don’t offer the surfing opportunities you’ll find on the north coast, and the water temperature is cooler.
But the great thing about Jervis Bay is it’s not overdeveloped with high rises and tourist gimmicks, the sand is white and pure, and they aren’t heavily populated like Sydney and the north coast beaches.
Jervis Bay is also a popular spot for whale watching, kayaking, canoeing, and walks.

2. The Snowy Mountains & Mount Kosciuszko
On our road trip was the first time Caz and I had visited the Snowy Mountains in Kosciuszko National Park.
We’ve never been into skiing, and have only done it once in the States, but visiting the Snowies in the summer months really opened up our eyes to how much there is to do there.
From driving the Alpine Way, to exploring Yarrangobilly Caves and Jenolan Caves, to climbing part of Australia’s highest peak (Mount Kosciusko), to…
