# Batemans Bay (AU QBW)

**UN/LOCODE:** AU QBW  
**Country:** Australia  
**Water Body:** Tasman Sea; South Pacific Ocean  
**Harbor Size:** Very Small  
**Harbor Type:** Coastal (Natural)  
**GPS:** -35.7000, 150.1667

By the 1870s a fleet of some 40 oyster boats worked Batemans Bay, and oyster farming and recreational fishing still define this New South Wales inlet far more than cargo. Lying within the Batemans Marine Park on Australia's south coast, the bay records virtually no commercial vessel calls and offers no container, bulk or customs handling. Tourism, not freight, drives the local economy today. For scheduled south-coast cargo, Port Kembla near Wollongong and the deep-water port of Eden are the nearest options.
