About Mossy Point

Mossy Point is a quiet coastal locality in the Eurobodalla Shire of New South Wales, situated on the Tasman Sea coast approximately 14 kilometres northeast of Moruya and 290 kilometres south of Sydney. With a population of 608 in the 2021 Census, it is a small seaside village tucked between the Tomaga River to the north and Candlagan Creek to the south. The village lies just north of Broulee and shares the relaxed character of the South Coast's most loved holiday destinations.

Mossy Point is a favourite among fishing enthusiasts, kayakers, and families seeking a peaceful coastal escape. The boat ramp gives easy access to calm estuary waters, while ocean beaches are within easy reach. The Mossy Café is a local landmark serving food and specialty coffee. Most residents are retirees or sea-changers who value the quiet village atmosphere, and the suburb is popular as a holiday destination for Canberra and Sydney visitors seeking a low-key alternative to busier South Coast towns.
