About Fishermans Paradise
Fishermans Paradise is a small coastal locality on the NSW South Coast, nestled along the shores of St Georges Basin and the tidal waterways near Sussex Inlet, approximately 190 kilometres south of Sydney within the Shoalhaven local government area. Covering less than one square kilometre, the community is tightly packed along its scenic waterfront foreshore and is home to around 491 permanent residents. Its compact size and waterside position give it a distinct village character that sets it apart from larger coastal towns.
True to its evocative name, Fishermans Paradise is a magnet for anglers, boaters and nature lovers drawn to the rich aquatic environment of St Georges Basin and its connecting waterways. The relaxed coastal atmosphere attracts a mix of permanent residents—many of them retirees—alongside holidaymakers and weekenders escaping Sydney. Everyday amenities are a short drive to Sussex Inlet township, while the broader Shoalhaven region offers beaches, national parks and regional shopping in Nowra about 45 kilometres north.
Fishermans Paradise falls under postcode 2539 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the South Coast electorate.
