Nestled along the scenic Dalmeny coastline in New South Wales, Josh's Beach offers a secluded retreat with golden sands and rugged natural beauty[1][3]. Known for its surf-friendly waves and dog-friendly policies, this beach attracts outdoor enthusiasts seeking adventure or quiet relaxation[1][4]. Visitors should note the lack of amenities like restrooms and disability access, requiring preparation for a self-sufficient coastal experience[1][3].

While Josh's Beach has no onsite dining, nearby Dalmeny and Narooma offer options. Coastal Comfort Motel in Narooma (20-minute drive) provides ocean-view stays but no restaurant. The permanently closed Sea Salt Cafe in Dalmeny once served fresh seafood and burgers, per nostalgic Google reviews[^1^]. Travelers typically head to Narooma’s Top of the Town Motel (Italian cuisine) or The Harrington Motel for nearby meals[^2^].

Accommodations cluster in Narooma (~15-20 minutes from Dalmeny). Coastal Comfort Motel ($114/night) offers straightforward rooms with ocean glimpses[^1^]. Amooran Oceanside Apartments features a heated pool and modern studios[^2^]. For holiday homes, Dalmeny Shores provides beachfront self-catering units[^3^], while Tuross Head Motel (4.7★) delivers water views 25 minutes north[^4^].

Josh's Beach operates with minimal facilities – no restrooms, showers, or picnic areas are listed[1][4]. Bring portable gear for beach activities, as rentals and vendors are absent[1]. Nearby Dalmeny Beach (distinct from Josh’s) offers barbecues and boat ramps[5], but these are not available at Josh's itself[1][3].

Surfing dominates here, with consistent waves suitable for intermediates[1][3]. Low-tide rockpool exploration and coastal walks along Yabbara Head cater to nature lovers[3]. Swimming carries risks due to rips and rocky outcrops; lifeguard patrols operate seasonally[3]. Beach volleyball and sunbathing round out the experience[1][4].

No ramps, beach wheelchairs, or paved pathways exist at Josh's Beach[1][3]. The steep natural terrain and rocky surfaces present accessibility challenges[3]. Visitors with mobility concerns might prefer nearby patrolled beaches with better facilities[3][5].

Limited street parking exists near Ocean Parade access points[3]. No dedicated lots or fees are mentioned; arrive early during peak seasons. Overflow parking may require short walks through coastal vegetation[3][4].

The beach’s local name alternates between Joshs and Dalmeny Beach, causing occasional visitor confusion[3]. Its unique east-northeast orientation creates sheltered surfing conditions uncommon in the region[3]. Neighboring Dalmeny Beach hosts threatened shorebirds, emphasizing the area’s ecological significance[5].

Yabbara Head’s cliffside trails provide panoramic coastal views and whale-watching opportunities[3]. Nearby Mummuga Lake (1 km north) offers calmer waters for kayaking[3]. The historic Lorne Pier and Dalmeny’s Hooded Plover nesting zones lie within short drives[5].
