Adventurous Australians flock to the secluded beach with crystal clear rock pools perfect for swimming, snorkeling and exploring the local marine life. Bushrangers Bay is a rocky water reserve south of the village of Shellharbour, considered one of the best diving and snorkeling spots in New South Wales.
Less than two hours from Sydney, this sheltered spot is the perfect day trip destination for nature lovers. Tourists visiting the area take incredible pictures of the rugged coastline with clear turquoise waters that jut out from the rocky shore. Visitors refer to Bushrangers Bay as a "true treasure" for its incredible rock pools where native wildlife swims. Adventure seekers can also explore the nearby Bushrangers Bay Preserve hiking trails through lush forest and sightseeing for scenic views of the stunning coastline. The reserve has a no-take rule, so fishing or shell collecting is prohibited here, and delicate corals are not allowed to be touched as they can break easily. Visitors are also advised to wear appropriate footwear as the rocky shore can be sharp and difficult to walk on in some places.
