Rescuers managed to pull a 46-year-old man from the water but he sadly died at the scene.
Just after 6pm, police were told a second man was still in the water with a search operation commencing shortly after.
About 8pm, the body of a second man, aged 67, was found and pulled from the water.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Surf Life Saving NSW confirmed the two men were rock fishermen.
A report will be prepared for the information of the Coroner.
Little Beach is accessed via a remote 750m gravel track in the Bouddi National Park.
