Richmond Beach

Located in the charming village of Benandarah, Richmond Beach is a picturesque stretch of sand that spans for about half a kilometer along the South Coast of Australia. The beach is known for its clean and clear turquoise water and soft white sand, making it a perfect spot for swimming, sunbathing, and picnicking.

Richmond Beach has several amenities, including bathroom access, picnic tables, and barbecue facilities. However, it does not have any lifeguards on duty, so swimmers are advised to be cautious. Dogs are allowed on the beach, but they must be kept on a leash at all times.

Other activities available at the beach include fishing, surfing, and beachcombing.

There is a parking lot available at Richmond Beach, and it is free for visitors. The lot can accommodate up to 20 cars, so it is best to arrive early during peak season to secure a spot.

Fun fact: Richmond Beach is named after Richmond Hill, a historical property that was once a popular picnic destination for early settlers. The property was donated to the National Trust in 1978 and is now a popular tourist attraction.

In addition to its natural beauty, Richmond Beach has several nearby attractions, including the Mogo Zoo and the Eurobodalla Botanic Gardens. Hikers will also enjoy the nearby trails in the surrounding national parks.

There are several restaurants and cafes in the nearby towns of Batemans Bay and Moruya, serving fresh seafood, Australian cuisine, and international fare.

The Bower at Broulee is a luxurious bed and breakfast located just a few kilometers from the beach, while the BIG4 Batemans Bay at Easts Riverside Holiday Park offers a more affordable option for families.
