Stretching a distance of some 440km between Wollongong and the Victorian border, the southern region of NSW boasts spectacular coast lines and beautiful natural environments. Add dragon boating to the picture and you've got a great excuse to take a minute (or more) to explore life beyond our southern Sydney fringe!

Whether you are lucky enough to call the south coast home or plan to escape the frantic city pace for a weekend, dragon boating is a great way to enjoy the coast.

Contact the club in your area for more information on getting involved in this fun, adrenalin pumping sport – ideal for people of ages and level of fitness. For more information on specific clubs on the south coast, please see the list below.
