In our humble opinion, the best place for water activities are Nelson Bay and Shoal Bay.
Just across the road from our Follo stays at No. 7 Shoalhaven, There is ample space for kids to run a muck and equal space to relax and feel unhurried by the day.
Coming to the bay for some family fun is a Follo favourite, and thankfully the community here are on the same ‘wave’ length with lots of things to do in and around shoal bay for couples and families.
An easy rental of some paddle or pedal boards as a morning or afternoon treat. Ranging from $25 for half hour to $60 for a full hour.
Stand-up paddel / pedal boarding in Shoal Bay
The summary:
Pedal boarding – A little bit of a leg work-out.
Paddle boarding – A little bit of an arm work-out.
Crystal Clear Water, make it a crystal clear Kayak.
You can now add full-time floating to you repertoire…
One of our favourite things to do while staying in a FOLLO is getting into a Clear Kayak. Not only do you get to experience the view above the tide, but you can also explore what’s down below. Watching the fish swim beneath you and sometimes seeing some other creatures living their best life – This is a really fun activity to do with the kids (or adults who want some play time) – but be prepared for some over-excitement and get ready to keep the Kayak nice and steady so you don’t join them under the sea!
For either of these, you can contact Rod@shoalbaysup.com.au to enquire about a weekend booking or tour. Best to book in advance so that you’re pedal/ paddle boards and kayaks are ready when you arrive.
Or text Rod on 0428604460 to enquire
Water cruises to sail home about

These friendly locals are one of the most loved residents in the area and with sightings so often, it really makes life at the Bay feel pretty special.
While they go about their day living their playful lives, visitors are always eager to catch a glimpse of them in action.
