About Tomakin
Tomakin is a charming seaside village on the NSW South Coast, nestled between Batemans Bay (15 km north) and Moruya (12 km south) in the Eurobodalla Shire. With a population of around 1,230, it sits at the mouth of the Tomaga River, offering a tranquil coastal lifestyle. The village is flanked by neighbouring hamlets Guerilla Bay and Mossy Point, creating a small but connected beach community.
Life in Tomakin revolves around the coast and outdoor activities. The village offers surfing at Barlings Beach, fishing from the river and rocks, kayaking, and coastal walks through stunning scenery. Three caravan parks provide holiday accommodation, and the town attracts both retirees seeking a peaceful lifestyle and families looking for weekend escapes from Canberra, just 2.5 hours inland.
Tomakin falls under postcode 2537 and is governed by Eurobodalla Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Bega electorate.
