Boat Harbour Beach in Bendalong is one of the most unique stops in NSW. This particular spot is famous for its friendly stingrays that glide right up to the shore. The stingrays are used to being hand-fed by local fishermen, so they’re super calm and even come right up to your feet in the shallow water. You'll often find a bunch of them near the boat ramp or they'll be swimming up and down the beach close by.

If you're lucky enough to have perfect conditions, the water will be super calm and clear, giving off the impression that you're on a topical island getaway, surrounded by marine life. This unique and peaceful wildlife encounter is what makes Bendalong so special!
