Plan the perfect trip to Moruya.
From secluded beaches to boutique shops, Moruya is the ultimate holiday destination designed for the whole family.
Moruya is one of the largest towns in the Eurobodalla Shire and is situated on the banks of the Moruya River, just a few kilometres inland from the coast.
Moruya is known for its rich history, which includes supplying granite used to build the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the 1920s. The town was founded in the mid-19th century and has several historic buildings.
The Moruya River is a popular spot for fishing, boating, and kayaking.
Visit the Historic Quarry Park, located along the river, to learn more about the area’s history, walk along the boardwalk, picnic, or throw a line in.
Scenic flights are available at Moruya Airport, and for the thrill-seekers, skydiving!
Take a 5-minute dive to Moruya Heads and visit the lookout. Why not pack a picnic and spend the day at Shelly Beach? Shelly Beach is an excellent spot for surfing and fishing and a great place to stretch your legs.
The area has many walking tracks, including the Binji Dreaming Track, which wanders through Congo to Tuross Head. The 14km scenic walk follows in the footsteps of the Brinja-Yuin people.
Moruya is home to various stores, coffee shops, restaurants and the famous Moruya Country Markets. The markets are held on Saturdays and offer a wide range of fresh produce, local arts, crafts, and other specialty goods.
Art lovers need to visit The Basil Sellers Exhibition Centre. The BAS (as it is more commonly known) is the Eurobodalla’s first purpose-built exhibition and arts space, which adjoins the Moruya Library.
