Hydeaway Bay

Where the hills meet the sea and the world goes quiet.

THE SETTING

Set a little further north, Hydeaway Bay feels like a place you have all to yourselves. Steep, forest-clad hills wrap around the bay and tumble down to a quiet beach where the loudest sound is the water. It is the kind of spot that makes you exhale the moment you arrive.

The reward for the extra few minutes on the road is real seclusion. There are rarely crowds here, so your ceremony feels intimate and unhurried. And when the sun drops behind the headland, the whole bay glows amber and rose, gifting you the kind of sunset backdrop that photographs like a painting.

Why here

01 Truly secluded

Away from the main tourist trail, the bay is quiet and private. It often feels like the beach was set aside just for the two of you.

02 Dramatic backdrop

The towering green hills that hug the bay give your photos a lush, cinematic frame you simply cannot get on the flatter town beaches.

03 Golden sunsets

Hydeaway is renowned for its evening light. Time your ceremony for late afternoon and the whole sky becomes your decor.

Access & permits

As a public beach, Hydeaway Bay usually needs a simple council permit for a ceremony, and it is a little further from town, so a touch more planning helps. Leave all of that to us. We handle the permit, map out the timing around the sunset, and make sure everyone knows exactly where to go.
