Mystery Bay

A string of small beaches separated by dark rocky ledges, with clear rock pools that are ideal for snorkelling, beach camping and photography.

Mystery Bay lies about 15 km south of Narooma. Its coastline is carved by waves into dark volcanic rock, forming a series of small coves and tidal pools between the reefs. At low tide, you can spot starfish and crabs in the rock pools, and on calm days you can go snorkelling. At the southern end of the bay, the jagged rock formations where waves break are a popular spot for sunrise photography. A national park campground sits right beside the beach and needs booking in summer. There are no lifeguards, so watch out for rip currents when swimming.
