Shelley's Beach (also known as Shelly Beach) is a small, sheltered pocket beach near Merimbula on the NSW South Coast. Protected from ocean swells, it offers calm, clear waters ideal for snorkeling among rocky reef edges. The beach is backed by coastal bushland and is a quieter alternative to the main Merimbula beaches, with easy shore entry and a relaxed atmosphere for exploring the shallows.
