It's the ultimate bush meets beach hangout, and if you're one to avoid the crowds (and in a time of Covid chaos, who isn't) this slice of paradise will tick all the boxes.
Surrounded by national parks and a rainforest boardwalk from the carpark to the coast, this slice of NSW is bursting with stretches of pristine beaches, hidden campsites and scenic hiking trails.
But one beach in particular along the Barrington Coast β which is best explored if you have access to a 4WD β has become a clear highlight, given the stretch of white sand, turquoise blue waters and nearby campsites sitting along Smiths Lake.
The breathtaking beach is known as Cellito and the surrounding coastline has been dubbed 'paradise on earth' on social media and sitting just three hours north of Sydney, the region is a little more convenient and untouched than popular rival regions Byron Bay or Jervis Bay.
