Batemans Bay is home to the famous Clyde River oyster and seafood features prominently on the menu of many local waterside restaurants. The Clyde River is popular with estuary fishers chasing bream and flathead, while offshore, excellent reef and game fishing is available. Cruise boats ply the river daily or you can hire all manner of boats through to an extended stay on a houseboat. Catalina Country Club boasts a 27-hole layout of championship status. All local clubs welcome visitors. Many local artists and potters open their studios and Batemans Bay Visitor Information Centre can suggest gallery and studio tours.
