Shelly Beach is a beach in Kioloa. Dog access at NSW beaches varies by council and is often restricted by zone or time of day — the rules here aren't confirmed, so check the local council's beach dog rules before visiting.
Dog rules
Beaches managed by Shoalhaven City Council are on-leash by default under the NSW Companion Animals Act 1998. We haven’t been able to confirm from a council source that this specific beach is council-managed — it’s likely, but please check on-site signage or contact Shoalhaven City Council before visiting with a dog.

Beautiful sandy shoal. There were ample warnings about rip currents but I did not see any. Was there an early December and already the ocean currents had warmed up the shores. Beyond the edge of the immediate beach there’s a vegetated dune separating it from another beach, it would appear that you could walk along for quite some ways.

Not as many shells as I’d expect, unsure why it’s named Shelly beach I came for shells but it’s a stunning quiet beach with an abundance of sand and views. A very private beach
