New South Wales has over 2,000 kilometres of coastline and some of the finest beaches in Australia. In the north, Byron Bay is the surfing capital, with consistent breaks and a laid-back atmosphere. The northern beaches of Sydney -- Narrabeen, Avalon, Palm Beach -- offer great surf without the crowds of Bondi. South of Sydney, the coastline gets quieter and wilder, with beautiful stretches around Jervis Bay, Ulladulla and Pambula.
