Beautiful hidden places in NSW
Beyond Sydney, there are several beautiful hidden places in NSW, Australia. Here are just nine of them – from the Aslings Beach Rock Pool in Eden to Empress Falls in the Blue Mountains.
For many visitors, Sydney is the only place in New South Wales worth visiting. And fair enough – Sydney is an extraordinary place where you can explore happily for weeks.
But beyond Sydney, there are several beautiful hidden places in NSW – many of which most Australians don’t even know about. And here are just a few of them.
Aslings Beach Rock Pool
Where? Eden, Sapphire Coast
Cut into the cliff face, beneath a mineral-stained purple bulge in the rock, Aslings Beach Rock Pool takes some effort to get to. But when you’ve scrambled over the rocks, the crashing waves and the multicoloured backdrop make it a special place for a swim. It’s less than a kilometre’s walk from the Coast Motel.
