Famous as being one of the best places in Australia for whale watching there are plenty of other things to see and do in this coastal town.
If you are visiting between May and November, this is the best time to see the whales as they migrate along the coast.
Discover Edens long association with whales at the Eden Killer Whale Museum, which features boats, whaling gear, photographs and other interesting maritime memorabilia from a time in history when humpbacks and other whales were killed for oil.
The annual whale migration is from May to November, but you can enjoy Eden all year. Fresh oysters, fish, and other delicious seafood are available at local restaurants. Head to Eden Wharf for lunch or dinner with coastal views or head out on the water, cast a fishing line and catch your next meal.

Home to one of the deepest natural harbours in the Southern Hemisphere, Edens port receives both domestic and international cruise ships as they make their way along the east coast of Australia. The wilderness along the coast is beautiful in its diversity, from sandy beaches to eucalypt forests.
The Ben Boyd National Park extends north and south of Eden. Along the coast are impressive natural rock arches and caves that have been carved out by millions of years of erosion from waves and winds. The national park is home to yellow-bellied gliders, which have bushy tails, and popular for birdwatching.
The Port of Eden is one of two regional ports in New South Wales and is the largest fishing port in the State.
