Winding it’s way through Batemans Bay’s CBD, the Clyde provides the first glimpse many visitors have of the water.

The T-wharf is a popular fishing spot, and seals have been known to make their way up to delight onlookers.

Driving over the iconic Batemans Bay bridge signals the start of holidays to some, and homecoming to others.

Oysters, eateries and sheltered beaches can be spied amongst the mangroves.

Then you break free of the hustle and bustle, and enter the serene expanse of river between Batemans Bay and Nelligen.
