South Coast

They might share the same ocean, but the state’s South Coast is a world away from its northern counterpart. Life is lived at a slower pace here – a general feeling of taking time to appreciate what you see when the world stops a little. We can’t think of a better place to disconnect than the endless curves of sand, the striking swathes of green, the oyster shacks, the cafes where local produce shines, the world-class wineries, the marine reserves and the enchanting towns. It’s southern comfort, writ large.
