About Long Beach
Welcome to Long Beach
Long Beach is a quiet coastal pocket on the New South Wales South Coast, just north of Batemans Bay and within easy reach of Batehaven, Surfside, North Batemans Bay and Maloneys Beach. Roughly four hours' drive south of Sydney, it's the kind of place people move to rather than pass through, built around its namesake stretch of sand and the calmer pace that comes with living outside a major town centre.
With a population of just 1,758 and a median age of 51, Long Beach has the feel of an established seaside community rather than a growth suburb. It tends to suit retirees, downsizers and coastal lifestylers looking for a permanent base or a well-located holiday property, with the shops, services and hospital facilities of Batemans Bay only a short drive away.
Lifestyle & dining
Life in Long Beach revolves around its beach and the low-key rhythm of a small coastal settlement. There's no large commercial strip within the suburb itself, so residents tend to head into Batemans Bay or Batehaven for cafes, pubs and restaurants, while still coming home to the quiet of Long Beach's residential streets and bushland backdrop. It's a suburb that rewards people happy to trade nightlife for beach walks, fishing and a slower pace.
Shopping
For day-to-day shopping, Long Beach residents typically drive a few minutes into Batemans Bay or Batehaven, both of which offer supermarkets, specialty stores and the broader retail base expected of the region's commercial hub. North Batemans Bay and Surfside add further convenience options nearby, meaning Long Beach's lack of its own shopping centre is rarely an inconvenience given how central it sits within this cluster of coastal suburbs.
Getting around
Long Beach is well placed on the Princes Highway corridor, giving straightforward road access north to Batehaven and Batemans Bay and south towards Maloneys Beach and Surfside. There's no train line on this part of the coast, so a car is the practical way to get around, though the compact spacing of these coastal suburbs keeps most local trips short. Batemans Bay's town centre, with its bridge over the Clyde River, remains the main gateway for onward travel up or down the coast.
Parks & recreation
The beach is the standout drawcard, offering swimming, fishing and walking right on residents' doorstep, with the surrounding bushland reserves adding a green buffer between properties. Nearby Maloneys Beach and the Batemans Bay foreshore extend the options for those wanting a change of scenery, while the broader Eurobodalla coastline is known for its national parks, inlets and marine reserves within easy driving distance.
Housing & architecture
Housing in Long Beach is a mix of established homes and vacant land, reflecting its gradual, low-density development over the years. Current listings show 58% houses, 41% land and a small 1% share of townhouses, pointing to an active market for those wanting to build rather than buy established. This mix suits both buyers after a ready-made coastal home and those looking to design something to their own brief on a coastal block.
The property market
Long Beach's median house price currently sits at $1.10 million, following growth of 17.0% recently, a notable rise for a small, low-turnover coastal market. Median rent is $700 a week, reflecting solid demand from both permanent residents and those seeking a coastal rental. With land making up a large portion of current listings, buyers have genuine choice between an established home and a vacant block, though the tightly held nature of the suburb means opportunities can be limited compared with larger neighbours like Batemans Bay and Batehaven.
