Introducing South West Rocks & Around
Jutting into the sea on a hooked headland, South West Rocks is off the highway and the tourist trail. Crass commercial development has been capped in the rising folds of eucalypts and endless shoreline, and the housing boom is relegated to newer fringes. It’s a great place to hunker down for a few days, and the spectacular beach here is one of the few places on the east coast where you can watch the sunset over the water.

The area west of the Pacific Hwy is a rich river flatland lined with dense vegetation, appealing old farmhouses and vintage shacks built on stilts. To fully appreciate the drive, leave the Pacific Hwy at Seven Oaks and take the 22km sinuous road along the Macleay River.
