Information
Eden is a coastal town on the far south coast of New South Wales, set around Twofold Bay near the Victorian border. It’s best known for its deep-water harbour, dramatic coastline, and strong links to both whaling history and modern marine conservation.The town offers a good range of services for travellers including fuel, groceries, cafés, accommodation, caravan parks, and a hospital. Eden is a popular base for fishing, boating, diving, and coastal walks, with easy access to rocky headlands, sheltered beaches, and national parks.Historic highlights include the Killer Whale Museum and remnants of the old whaling industry, while natural attractions such as Lookout Point, Cocora Beach, and nearby Ben Boyd National Park provide excellent walking tracks, whale-watching vantage points, and scenic camping options.Eden is also a key stop for travellers following the Sapphire Coast, and a practical resupply point before exploring more remote coastal or forest areas inland.
