Seven Mile Beach is located between Shoalhaven Heads and Gerroa, so named because of its length, and famous as the take-off point by aviator Sir Charles Kingsford Smith on January 11, 1933 for his crossing of the Tasman.

The sweep of Seven Mile Beach is rimmed with sand dunes and a variety of coastal sand forests, some of which are listed as endangered ecological communities. At Beach Road the new wooden walkway to the beach and viewing platform and the nearby carpark provide easy beach access to all, including the disabled.
Close by there is a large picnic area with barbecues in a pleasant forest setting. A smaller picnic area is set among tea trees and banksias with easy beach access. There are loop walking tracks through the forest and along the beach. Camping is not permitted in the park.
Amenities and shops are located nearby at Gerringong, Kiama, Shoalhaven Heads and Bomaderry. This is a popular holiday spot in summer, so accommodation is hard to find.
