Sydney to Melbourne Coastal Drive South

Easy going road trip with short distances and two nights in each scenic spot. If you’re looking to drive the coastal route south from Sydney to Melbourne, make sure you take your time to enjoy each destination just as much as the journey. This is one of the most serene stretches of coastline in southeast Australia with white sand beaches, inland waterways and untold scenic look out points on both sides of the border. As you’ll be invited to stop for a couple of nights in Jervis Bay, Lakes Entrance and Wilsons Promontory, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to really rest and relax in between drives.
