About Potato Point
Potato Point is a small coastal village in the Eurobodalla Shire on New South Wales' South Coast, lying approximately 200 kilometres south of Sydney and 15 kilometres north-east of the town of Narooma. The locality covers around 11.8 square kilometres and is home to approximately 156 residents, giving it a quiet, secluded character typical of the region's smaller beach settlements. Surrounded by the Eurobodalla National Park on three sides, Potato Point sits on a headland with views across the South Pacific Ocean.
The village is connected by road to the nearby town of Bodalla and is close to Narooma for essential services including supermarkets, schools, and medical facilities. Potato Point attracts sea changers, retirees, and holiday makers drawn to its unspoilt beaches, calm fishing spots, and national park surrounds. The area carries historic significance as the site where the Brice family grew vegetables and potatoes in the 19th century, rowing produce out to ships offshore — a history reflected in the village's distinctive name. The Yuin people are the traditional owners of this coastal country.
Potato Point falls under postcode 2545 and is governed by the Eurobodalla Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Eden-Monaro, while state elections fall under the Bega electorate.
