The calm bay of Corrigans Beach, at Batehaven, is just 4 kilometres south of Batemans Bay and is perfect for families.
With plenty of space on and off the beach, relatively calm safe waters, excellent family amenities and shops nearby, Corrigan's beach is definitely a family destination. The northern headland is home to the Coastal Patrol Rescue building and two concrete boat ramps, located safely behind the Hanging Rock break wall - making it a great spot for fishing, best off the entrance wall into the Clyde River.
Swimming and Surfing: A popular spot because of its safety and close proximity to Batemans Bay and the many recreational facilities and holiday accommodations behind the beach. There are currently no services provided by Surf Life Saving Australia for this beach and has a hazard rating of 3/10 (least hazardous). Corrigans lies at the end of the main southern entrance wall of the river mouth. It swings for 2km to the south east, curving round in the lee of Observation Head to face north. It is backed by a large flat area with 2 caravan parks, sports fields, accessible playground, park and a launching ramp. The beach receives low waves, less then 0.5m in the north, with the bar disappearing and the beach face steepening to the south. A seawall also backs the southern corner. Corrigans beach has a relatively low wave swimming area with no surf.
