Top 50 things to do and attractions in Kiama Municipality

Great place for sunrise landscape photography. Watch out for the tides before you visit. Parking and amenities available nearby. It has a partial dog friendly area as well.

Lovely spot to visit on the south coast of NSW. Wish we could’ve stayed a little longer but we’ll definitely return so we can capture the way the light hits the wonderful towering rock formations. Such a tranquil unspoilt spot and we even spotted kangaroo foot prints along the beach.

If you're a photographer like me, you've got to time this right. You need light, so go in summer, and low tide to get access. My guess is very late in the afternoon. Unfortunately, I was there in winter and low tide would've be at sunset. It's not sign posted but you will see it. Not for people with mobility issues. I returned at the end of February. Got the timing right, low tide around 4-5pm in summer and this time access was easy somewhere around Bombo Beach. Update photos posted.

What an amazing place! Definitely head here at low tide, and enjoy a swim! We saw so many baby box fish! This view is one of a kind and felt really special. Really friendly locals too. We could have spent hours here! Don't miss it!

It was a great spot with interesting rock formations like a cathedral. It also has great rock pools with strong waves washing in. There is also a nearby cave which can have a great unique view towards the Cathedral Rock but you need to check the tides for getting in and getting out. It is such a memorial experience to walk to this spot and do some photography for such stunning scenery. It is around 15 mins walking from the car park to the foreshore toward the spot.

Absolutely beautiful spot to see some very unique rock formations. You'll see a wonderful combination of spire-like rock towers (from lava and from an old quarry) and lively water pools. I highly recommend taking walks around this area or just going to watch the waves crash into the coast!

A short walk from Jones beach. Some unusual rock formations. Great to visit at sun raise and sun set. The shadows create some wonderful effects. Plenty of different nook and cranny to explore. You can also have a swim

We stopped here here on our way from Sydney to Canberra and the views were stunning. Plenty of parking, and easy to get to. The blow hole was really pumping with the winds and surf. If you're close by definitely try and make the stop.

This place is a hit or miss. You can either be here on a nice day and enjoy the view. Or you can be here on a day where it gets so windy, that if you open your car door it can fling open. It’s a beautiful place and the blowhole is pretty cool. You can walk further down closer to the water. Overall it’s a beautiful place. Would recommend.

This was a beautiful spot to stop and explore. We drove in from Sydney. I wish we left sooner because there was so much along the way to see, rainforest, breathtaking scenic ocean views, wildlife. While here, the kids explored around in the rocks. My dad and I took the walk from the scenic park area over to see the blow hole. I encourage you to time this right, we didn’t see the blow hole as impressive as it could have been, we didn’t see some action but not much, we went later on the day. Be sure to check the tide! Lots to do around this area, lots of shops, walking, picnic benches to enjoy a meal or snack. So beautiful

This lighthouse is a popular place for locals and tourists. No entry fees. Great views of the sea and hinterland from here. Plenty of parking with generous time limits. When we were there, we sighted several whales on their migration to Antarctica.

Kiama is a brilliant seaside town with heaps to see. The Blowhole and lighthouse are always worth a visit, and Bombo Quarry absolutely blew me away — the basalt columns and rugged rock formations are incredible in person. The coastal walk to Gerringong is stunning and the whole area has a relaxed, friendly vibe. Great place for a scenic day out.

For anyone visiting the South Coast around Wollongong and Kiama, the Kiama Lighthouse and Blowhole are must-see attractions. The lighthouse, built in 1887, stands proudly on the headland and offers sweeping views over the coastline and town. Just beside it lies the famous Kiama Blowhole, where, on the right tide and with strong winds, the ocean swells surge through the rock cavity and shoot spectacular jets of water high into the air. On a particularly windy day, the spray can reach visitors standing on the lookout — be prepared to get a little wet!

Beautiful and peaceful spot with amazing ocean views! The lighthouse is right next to the famous blowhole, which can spray water really high when the tide is right. Great place for photos, a nice walk, and just relaxing by the sea. Easy parking and open 24 hours - perfect for sunrise or sunset visits

Sometimes the journey is more beautiful than the destination. But in this case, both journey and the destination is equally beautiful. Such a relaxing experience. Must visit location for any tourist.

The Kiama Blowhole is one of those natural wonders that truly leaves you amazed! Watching the ocean force its way through the rocks and shoot high into the air is both powerful and thrilling. When the waves are strong, the spray can reach incredible heights, it’s like nature putting on a show! We were lucky to visit on a windy day, so the blowhole was really active. The sound and rush of the water bursting through was unforgettable. There’s a safe viewing platform, and the area is family-friendly with plenty of space to walk around and take photos. Right nearby, there's a beautiful lighthouse, green grassy areas for a picnic, and cafes within walking distance. The whole town of Kiama has a lovely coastal charm, but the blowhole is definitely the highlight. Whether you're a nature lover, a photographer, or just passing through, the Kiama Blowhole is worth the stop. Just make sure to check the tide times for the best experience!

Interesting natural phenomenon with great views. A bit over-touristed now though - when I went you couldn't move for the number of people there.

This is a wonderful place near Sydney. If you are looking for nature, beautiful scenery, the lighthouse and the blowhole, everything around there is spectacular. You can have a picnic or bbq, and there are also many restaurants in the area. It has parking and spectacular views. Highly recommended.

We loved Kiama, the blow hole and the rock pool, and cafe on hill. Walking to so many places is easy.

This popular blowhole is visited by locals and tourists. Located near the lighthouse, it can produce some spectacular water blows. This time when we were there, the tide was not up, hence not providing enough head to produce blows. I have earlier posted images from previous occasion when amazing blows were seen. As a compensation, we did see pods of Humpback whales on their journey to Antarctica - amazing rare sight indeed. Entry is free. If you don't fancy walking down stairs , you can view the blows from car parking level

Really nice place to stroll and enjoy the views. The Blowhole is not the only thing you see; walk around to see from different angles. Really recommend place to visit. Even day trip from Sydney is doable.

The Kiama Coast Walk is a spectacular trail stretching approximately 22 kilometers from Minnamurra to Gerringong, offering breathtaking ocean views, dramatic cliffs, and stunning beaches. Walking this scenic route with family and friends today was an unforgettable experience, filled with adventure, fresh sea air, and plenty of photo opportunities. We started our journey near Minnamurra River, where the calm waters and lush greenery created a peaceful beginning. As we made our way south, we passed Bombo Headland, with its striking basalt columns formed by ancient volcanic activity. The waves crashing against the cliffs added to the dramatic beauty of the landscape. Reaching Kiama, we stopped to admire the Kiama Blowhole, which put on an impressive display, sending water high into the air. Nearby, the Kiama Lighthouse stood tall against the bright blue sky, offering a perfect spot for a rest and some great photos. Continuing along the track, we passed Easts Beach and Loves Bay, where rolling green hills met the sea, creating postcard-worthy views. Finally, we arrived at Werri Beach in Gerringong, feeling accomplished and in awe of the stunning coastline. The Kiama Coast Walk is an absolute must for nature lovers, blending adventure, exercise, and the raw beauty of Australia’s South Coast.

Nice little walk way along the harbour

I walked the southern section with my son yesterday. It's an area of stunning scenery. My biggest problem was the slope of the path across the path, which puts quite a strain on your feet. There's a few seats, but not enough. It would be good to add extra seats, particularly at the top of the hills, with some shading as well.

Beautiful place; we went there for whale watching. We heard lots of people have spotted whales at Kiama blowholes, but we got unlucky.

Amazing and beautiful walk. Easy walking with seats along the path. Photos from whale watching platform looks over Jones Beach up to the hill and views over Minnamurra River. Wonderful place to chill and take in amazingly beautiful scenery.

During a visit to this coastal town, this a walk not be missed, so nice to enjoy the coast on well paved walkways so close to town.

Beautiful place to visit together with Kiama Blowhole during spring time. A very scenic and windy area. Love the trees and the sea. We do not have problem with parking. Spent an hour in Kiama

Amazing experience - got wonderful pictures- but the most beautiful ones are not on the phone but etched in our memories. Such beauty in nature and just listening to the waves hitting the shore put you into a tranquil place.

Beautiful FREE place to visit just outside of Kiama about 10 minutes drive south of the Big Blowhole (which only blows under certain conditions) - the Little Blowhole is always blowing, the height varies on the size of the wave approaching. Platform viewing area or walk down right near the waters edge. Always blowing no matter what the weather - well worth the look. Off-road car parking lot.

Amazing natural phenomenon that will give you a thrill when a nice set of waves hit. We went to both the the large and small blow hole and the small still gives a punch in smaller conditions where as the large blow hole requires larger eaves to get going

No tickets needed to visit this place and no card payments required. Beautiful location and easy to get to. The area also has a big blow hole and can be a good walk for those that like a hike.

Been watching the weather page for wave swell direction. Today was near perfect with south east 3 metre swell.

Great place to see the wonders of nature at play. After a visit to the Kiama blowhole you really must see the little blowhole working its heart out for you, just a few km down the road (2 points to the south) it performs better and higher than the main blow hole.

Little Blowhole in Kiama was a fascinating spot to visit! Unlike the more famous Kiama Blowhole, this one was smaller but just as impressive, with strong bursts of water shooting up through the rocks. The best part was how active it was—since it works best with certain wind conditions, it was constantly spraying water while I was there. The surrounding coastal views were stunning, making it a great place to relax and enjoy nature. If you’re in Kiama, this hidden gem is definitely worth a stop!

Bombo Headland is a breathtaking coastal location near Kiama, known for its dramatic basalt rock formations and rich geological history. The unique landscape, shaped by ancient volcanic activity and past quarrying, resembles something from another planet. It’s a popular spot for photographers, especially during sunrise and sunset, when the light enhances the surreal beauty of the rock columns and crashing waves. Easily accessible with nearby parking, it’s a great place for a short walk, sightseeing, or simply soaking in the power of nature. A must-visit on the NSW South Coast!

It was one of the more unusual beaches we went to. The rock formations were very unique. And there were rock pools behind the rock formations, because when the waves crashed against the rocks, the splashes from the water created big rock pools as well. You can climb on the rocks, but just be careful with your footing, as they have very sharp edges and there are a lot of loose ones too. It was windy when we got there and quite cool. Definitely bring water with you when you are there, as the wind and the spray from the sea will leave your throat and lips feeling dry. A hat and sunscreen is strongly recommended (if you don't get sunburn, you will get wind burn). Overall, it was an enjoyable outing and highly recommended for the geology enthusiast

Very beautiful area. Can be accessed after a short walk from the carpark. Be careful not to get too close as people have drowned after being swept off the rocks in the past.

🌊 Bombo Headland Geological Site is an absolute gem in Kiama! The dramatic rock formations and breathtaking coastal views make it a must-see spot for nature lovers and photographers. The unique basalt columns and rugged cliffs are stunning, especially during sunrise or sunset. It’s an easy walk with lots of great photo opportunities. Just be cautious on windy days, as the waves can be intense. A truly remarkable place that showcases nature’s raw beauty. Highly recommend a visit!

Bombo Headland Quarry is a natural masterpiece! It is a place that truly stirs the soul. The towering basalt columns and dramatic ocean backdrop feel like a scene from a fantasy film — powerful, timeless, and awe-inspiring. Standing here, you can’t help but marvel at nature’s artistry. A must-visit for anyone who loves wild beauty and unforgettable coastal landscapes.

Occasionally I found this place from the map for a random family weekend and then was impressed by the natural wonders: thunder powerful waves, magical rocks, and enormous geological features. All are stunning and amazing. All of us feel that we are lucky to find this place and be aware the great place is so close to us!

Amazing scenic spot with impressive rock formation, free parking 6min walk from the car Park 10min walk from Bombo beach

Love this place. So many small selling Aussie local made produce , clothing and more. Great if you want to support the locals and keep the cash flowing in our local community.

These markets are fantastic has a huge amount of stalks and great products and local produce. There was a great little animals exhibit there for the kids and the water makes for a beautiful back drop. Well worth a look, the 2 markets are held 3rd Sunday and 4th Saturday I think .

Amazing array of stalls, fantastic location makes for a great day out exploring beautiful Kiama !!

A lot of interesting stalls with good food options. Bit busy on the day.

Spent a lovely morning at the beautiful market by the sea. Lots to see & was very happy with my new Bali pants.

Great market with vistas of the surrounds and the ocean.

Everything is perfect!

It was great to see a big pod of dolphins come into the harbour. Great view up the coast.

This is scenic drive road, just take it and enjoy.

Allways interesting to walk around.

Beautiful place.

Nice picturesque spot.

Love it ...

A hidden gem. Sealed track with slight elevation for half of it but suitable for prams. You can walk your dog here. Lovely natural native trees and bush and can hear the birds. So relaxing. No signs so bit hard to find. It’s right next the sporting fields. Worth coming to get away from the touristy areas

Nice spot to take have a short wander. One section is quite steep to get up but still should be fine for almost everyone. Unfortunately it's not a loop so you have to turn around and come back when you get to the end. Lots of space just off the track to kick a ball around and also a couple of tables for a picnic or something.

What a lovely walk and garden this is. Native vegetation, walking paths (reasonably flat but maybe not accessibly so) and lawn areas with bench seats and lots of little nooks and cranny's to sit and read or write or read and write or draw and listen to a podcast, or write and listen to a game of a league or test cricket... Options are as endless as these gardens are beautiful and with such promise.

Beautifully kept gardens and walkways. Its a pleasure to experience these gardens on a regular basis even just for quiet walks or contemplation. Well done Kiama council staff.

Plenty of space for games and picnics. Nice paths through bush gardens great for kids to run around playing chasies or hide-and-seek. No toilets!

I couldn't find available toilets in the time I went in there, it was an afternoon public holiday. The ones I found close to the sport field were all closed. Otherwise I would give 5 stars.

Cute little garden, takes about 20 mins to walk to the end and back. Nice picnic spots and easy for hikes and photos.

Beyond the burgers, Hungry Monkey Kiama fuels your day with surprisingly great coffee and flavour-packed burritos. Don't sleep on their fritters either – a delicious and satisfying addition to their coastal offerings. The staff is as amazing as their food.

It’s been about eight years since I was last in Kiama and my first stop in town was The Hungry Monkey. This cafe consistently puts out fantastic food and unbeatable coffee. We stopped here for lunch after driving down from Sydney and I decided to get an oat flat white and the morning glory bowl with poached eggs. The bowl was fantastic and I felt a lot healthier after eating it. The coffee was top-notch. I’d recommend this cafe to anyone visiting Kiama.

Food was great coffe top notch! we went here twice and it is a very popular place understandably. Has an intentional understated low-key old school house vibe. Siting out on the walkway on old park bench tables in June wasn't the coziest of experiences but good spot to catch up with large groups over brunch.

Had their Single royale burger 8/10. Friend had hot cakes wasn't expecting to be extremely salty. Mistook the salt flakes to be coconut flakes. Mouth became extremely dry after hotcakes no sugar or syrup could save him. Had the flu shot and an aerated latte. Lovely service by staff!

Absolutely lovely cafe in Kiama, the staff were so welcoming. The food was delicious and coffee fantastic. Great surroundings and you kich even meet Steve the resident Magpie, Highly recommend 👌

Both me and my partner both ordered burgers, cooked to perfection. Our table waiter was super nice and helped us out with all our request. Ordered a chai latte and Nutella hot chocolate both were made well and came out quick! Will be coming back.

Was down the coast over the easter long weekend and so glad we discovered this place. The young guy seating guests and taking orders in the outside area was very efficient and professional. Food was excellent and portions were appropriate. Will make a stop again the next time we are in the area and try the other dishes.

The staff here are not only good looking but also friendly and efficient. They greet you politely without being over the top, and clean the tables quickly and thoroughly. If you want to show tourists the beauty of the Aussie coast and the kindness of Aussie people, this is definitely the place to bring them. The food was honestly way better than I expected. absolutely delicious!

We stopped in a couple of times whilst visiting Kiama and the staff were always welcoming even when very busy! But, even better yet, the food was great and the coffee spot on! Great little cafe with a lovely sea view perspective.

Recommended as the best coffee in Kiama, I had to try it out. There's no doubt that this place is advantaged by the amazing views of the bay and I arrived on a particularly stunning morning. The barista must have heard my order because the flat white was delivered just after I had sat down. Coffee was not as flavoursome as I desired but this paled into insignificance with the arrival of the hot cakes. Even for a sweet tooth carb loading for an event, the hotcakes dish defeated me. Again the goods were delivered in quick time. Highly recommended.

Boy oh boy, where to start. Staff - brilliant. Attentive, kind, personable. Food - probably the best Avo toast I’ve ever had. My friend’s breakfast was also amazing, according to him. Campos coffee always a treat and the baristas make it well here. Location - stunning! Absolutely stunning. Atmosphere - buzzy, uplifting, salt-water smelling 🤍 10/10… best believe I’ll be back.

Wonderful Breakfast and Drinks, Spectacular Views, Excellent Service If you're in Kiama and looking for a great breakfast place, look no further than Penny Whistlers. The location is great overlooking the inlet and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Best of all is the food and there are plenty of options for everyone. Our children had the Eggs Bene Penny, and an Omelette and being vegan, we had the Bird Bowl. Everything thing was spectacular. The BB had a whole half avocado with mixed brown rice, sprouts, fresh grape tomatoes, toasted kale, and a spectacular julienned carrots and beetroot in a wonderful sweet balsamic glaze, along with some sort of really creative avocado/green vinaigrette. All told , excellent. The Chai tea was also brilliant. What a wonderful breakfast Thank you Penny Whistlers.

I’ve had breakfast here a couple of times and typically enjoy the food, but today’s breakfast was pretty disappointing…the “smashed” avocado which costs $5 looks and tasted like avocado from a tube…I’d prefer to be told that there’s no Avocado and to pick something else. Also the GF toast was pretty stale, there are so many good options around now for GF bread so definitely an improvement to be made there

Although the café wasn’t full or busy, we ended up waiting more than 45 minutes after ordering and still didn’t receive our food. To our surprise, guests who arrived after us were served first, even though they had ordered the same items. Apart from the nice location, there’s nothing particularly special about this café, and I wouldn’t recommend it if you value your time. There are plenty of other cafés nearby. I don’t enjoy writing negative reviews, but honestly, if we had known how long the wait would be, we wouldn’t have chosen this place. That said, if you don’t have other plans afterwards and are mainly there to chat in a group, the view is lovely and it could be enjoyable.

Just another beautiful beach location in an awesome area. Dog friendly and also a fantastic playground for the kids to enjoy with carparking close to the beach.

Beautiful beach, no dogs allowed

Possibly one of my favourite beaches in Australia. Great for walking, beautiful, and decent swimming.

Awesome beach!! We really loved it!! The waves are really nice and very fun. There's tonnes of big waves where everyone was body surfing. The water is nice and warm too once you get in. We spent like 2 hours just having fun here. It was absolutely amazing.

Beautiful spot. Nice break for kids, plenty of clean white sand and beautiful view back to Kiama lighthouse. Cabins right on the beach look amazing and there's a little playground just off the sand

A real gem. Not for the mainstream tourist to Kiama. Waves can get gnarly and rough. Public toilets in the holiday park are good. Sand is good. Grass area is good. Small playground. Get fish and chips from up on the main road and enjoy them here. Also go for a walk around the heads on the right foot a good explore

Protected pocket where you can hide from the wind. Public Toilets at the amenities block in the middle of the cabins. Nearest takeaway walk up the winding path at the north end (not the huge stairs) and walk up Chapman St turn left then right after 2 houses thru a driveway to the shops. Great stop along the coast walk and perfect in the morning. Patrolled in summer.

Great swim spot. Fed by the sea. Weekends very busy. Grass area for picnics and steps to sit on. No shade.

Lovely rock pool, great water quality and spectacular view too! Highly recommended

It's a tidal rock pool. Ava squiz before jumpin in. Big seas can bring big fish (small sharks) beautiful setting great place ta wet ya willy.

Freezing cold day but there were plenty of older people swimming. Crystal clear water, pretty spot & quite private. Toilets close by.

Wow. I cannot recommend having a swim here more highly. It is truly a beautiful experience. Directly adjacent to the ocean. Nice and quiet too. Perfect for laps 🦦🦦💫⭐️

One of the best rock pool in Sydney

Gorgeous outlook and location needs a bit of a clean though

I'm gonna level with ya. I didn't go check out the view. It was hundreds windy. I did check out the incredible gate locking mechanism. Hooly dooly, the fabricator must have had a point to prove when he fashioned up that masterpiece!

So nice view I really enjoyed I come from qld best experience .

One of the most breathtaking views of the the southern highlands and lake Illawarra and the southern coast. Views to Kiama and beyond. Lookout for the friendly wombats at the Lookout.

Such a beautiful place with mind blowing views!!!!

Beautiful spot got to see wombats,kangaroos and different types of birds and reptiles

The drive up to the mountain via saddleback mountain rd itself offers beautiful views. I think it’s one of the best scenic drives around. Once you reach the top, you can park your car and walk up to three different viewing platforms. The western view is partially obstructed because of trees. Walk up to the northern platform and it provides stunning views. The whole south coast upto Wollongong is laid out before you including lake Illawarra. Anyone know anything about these gate locks? I’m Curious how this works.

Windy but good view not busy

Stopped by here en route to huskisson. Great little spot, a simple attractive menu with food that speaks for itself. Coffee really hit the spot. Staff were all very friendly. Some of the negative reviews I’ve read sound made up to be honest! Might drop by again on the way back to sydney for lunch!

Lovely restaurant near the blow hole and lighthouse. Has indoor and outdoor, exposed seating. Nice water views from outdoors. Lovely menu choices, prompt and friendly service. Lots of seating indoor and outdoor. Toilets nearby. Level access from street. Prices are competitive for the area.

Located at 1 Blowhole Point Road, Kiama, New South Wales, Australia 🇦🇺, Edit - Have returned quite a few times now, at various times of the day. Again, I was happy with the service, food and overall experience. So were the other people in my group. Would still recommend. 😃 A great little spot for a quick meal or like me, a beautiful breakfast. I had fried eggs and bacon on toast which was delicious. The food was delicious and flavourful. The views were amazing and the staff were friendly and helpful. Had a great meal before going for a walk to the Kiama Blowhole which was just a very short Walk away. Very popular with the locals I believe which is always a very good sign. Thumbs Up!!!👍👍😋😊

Loved visiting Diggies. We went to the Kiama blowhole and then dropped in for a bit to eat and drink before we headed off. Food and seafood is fresh, affordable and the drinks were delicious. Great to hear different nationalities taking around us too. Will be back!!

From the moment we walked in for breakfast until we left, everything was amazing. The friendly waitress welcomed us with a smile and a Good Morning. The coffee was delicious and the food was outstanding. A huge compliment to the chef, the poached eggs we had, were the best we have ever tasted. We were so impressed with our breakfast on the Saturday we returned for breakfast this morning, Sunday 19th October. Again we couldn’t fault the service or food. Very happy to support this diner whenever we are in Kiama. We will definitely be back.

Cute cafe near the Kiama Blowhole. We stopped here for breakfast. They were very busy, so it took awhile to get our food. I ordered the Big Reg, which is a form of the Big Breakfast only without any bacon or sausage, which had to be ordered as a side. I also had a cappuccino. The food was good. We wanted to sit out of the sun, and it was too windy to have table umbrellas up, so we sat indoors. Service was friendly and they worked hard. Since it was an Australian holiday, there was a surcharge added to the bill. It's only a short walk to see the Blowhole, a little ocean pool, and the beach.

Beautiful location, excellent attentive staff, delicious meals today. Thank you. Easy booking online. Table ready on arrival. Greeted and seated professionally. Ordered a fish and chips, a steak meal and the tennis club sandwich. Everyone loved their meals. Reasonable price. Also enjoyed the jug of mimosa to share. All up great experience as always. See you next time!

Really nice coffee. Their large ☕ cup is just the right size to enjoy the full flavour of the coffee. The 🍰 are delicious. Generally the same cakes as other bakeries, but very fresh. Pies are very nice too. Get your daily fresh sourdough bread 🍞. I'd like to see more adventurous cakes like Tuga Patisserie in Alexandria. Just a thought 🤔. But always enjoy the visit even if it's just for coffee ☕.

Finally got to visit and it did not disappoint. The cafe is spacious with indoor and outdoor seating. On a sunday lunch time all seats are take and there is a line. Everything looks delicious so I was spoilt for choice. I the end I went with the weekly special (a hazelnut white choc kiafi) 2 croissants and a sourdough baguette. And a coffee. The coffee was great and so we're the croissants. The baguette waa fresh and tasty and oh my good was a pleased with myself for bypassing the Danish and choosing the special. So delicious. Until next time as there definitely will be a next time

Everything here was absolutely amazing! The pastries were fresh, buttery and full of flavor, and the coffee paired perfectly with them. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely one of the best patisseries I’ve been to – highly recommend!

The bread an pastries here all look amazing. We also enjoyed our meal, a couple of pies with a side of the sticky date croissant and a blueberry custard tart with fresh blueberries 😋🫐 It can get very busy on a weekend but they serve you quickly and there is not a long wait for your order.

I’ve had my fair share of almond croissants and I must say, the one here is the best I’ve ever tried! It was so fresh, airy, and crisp, with a perfectly balanced filling. Absolutely delicious.

We travelled here specifically to have the award winning croissant and it was in fact undeniably delicious. If it weren’t for the truly dreadful coffee we were served, I would have given 5 stars. The coffee blend did not taste in the slightest like coffee. Perhaps best to have a chai latte. Also, the cashier was strangely surly and unwelcoming despite our big smiles and clear enthusiasm (we were eager). I understand this is now a trend, but just saying …

Busy place. Their bench seats are built for 6' people (ie too high and uncomfortable). Nice atmosphere. Has aircon. Good food.

Craving some delicious fresh food, we found Otis in Kiama. The salmon quiche was amazing and the chicken/avocado roll was so full. We took home some sweets and the beetroot hommus dip to try later. The staff were also lovely. Highly recommended for fresh food although a decent, simple Greek salad would have topped it off for me.

Absolute favourite! Kiama is lucky to have such a fantastic new addition to their culinary landscape. During my week’s stay I visited almost every day and tried desserts, salads and savoury lunch dishes from vegan rolls to moussaka - there wasn’t a single thing I wouldn’t recommend. I was also pleased to see lots of vegetarian options and enjoy ONA coffee.

Beautiful wholesome food. We went back a couples of times to try different things. The signature item was the cauliflower cake (savory not sweet), the mushroom arancini was yummm n huge, the falafel wrap was nice and the chicken n avocado ciabatta toasted was mmm. Highly recommended. Must try the cauliflower cake tasty😋

A fabulous little Cafe. Fresh salads , and sandwich selection. Lovely small cakes and really nice coffee. Girls are friendly and polite. A lovely first experience in Kiama.

My mother and I have dined at Otis several times now over a few months, so good that we keep returning, it came highly recommended by a local lady. Owner Nicky and the team are so very friendly and inviting. The food, coffee, service and variety of very fresh food is exceptional to say the least, also the cafe is spotless, from the shop front to the back of very open kitchen. So much to choose from, though I must say my favourites are the arancini, served with your choice of salads, I love the broccolini and eggplant dishes, so very bright and fresh. The serving sizes are also very generous, one day when I’m not overly full, we will need to try the scrumptious looking deserts. We love sitting out in the sun under the umbrellas though inside is also lovely and spacious. 11/10!!

Delish food, the saladas are a unique treat to the tastebuds. I had three salads and 1 bacon quiche. I will certainly be back for another bite next time I'm in Kiama. Thank you...😙😘💕💕💕

On the Main street of Kiama is a cafe-deli called Otis, opened by Emily Herbert, past head chef at Ottolenghi Belgravia. The small store has a few tables, a fridge with drinks and house made dips, as well as a counter full of amazing middle eastern inspired salads, wraps, and sweet treats. Products on sale to go as well, including olives, harissa, spiced nuts and more. They also do a good coffee, using Ona beans

Such a fun little afternoon out in Kiama - so many different stalls to talk around and visit, of course my favourite being the dubai chocolate blocks and Dubai chocolate strawberry cups with pistachio and bueno chocolate!!! But loved also the flowers sold by Michael from Jonima and fresh groceries by the family business!

Wow, what a cool market! Stunning location, food trucks, fresh produce, takeaway meals, family friendly and a variety of stall holders. What a great place to, pick up some essentials and have dinner! Definitely visit if you're in the area.

Kiama is perfect for mesmerising view of a beach and the scenic beauty of Australia. This park is just perfect, also with very nice coffee shops that will give you an amazing experience of a morning coffee tea or breakfast sitting near to the beach , specially the park .

Coronation Park is a lovely beachside park in Kiama. A children’s playground, a nearby fishnChip shop and a lovely beach (Surf Beach) adjacent to this space. Tables are available if you are amongst the first to arrive. Even an old fashioned rotunda - if you are lucky! On Wednesday this is where the Farmer’s Market is held.

I'd vouch that there were very few farmers there - if any - but the same can be said of many such markets. I'd have liked to see non-commercial sellers there, like those at Culburra a few days ago. There were genuine crafts for sale, and to support the local town.

Wonderful atmosphere especially in the warmer months with live music and places to sit and eat. Fresh fruit, veg, honey, jams and so much more

Sell everything for family when they go out

I came for a morning dip, was sooo worth it the waters so clear and crisp. love the view and calming nature of it all.

Crystal clear and not crowded. Excellent amenities close by. First swim in sea water for many years. Loved it!! 🏊‍♀️

This one is a much larger, 50-metre pool at the northern end of Black Beach Reserve. It's more of a traditional ocean bath, offering a great space for proper swimming and laps. It's often shadier due to the cliff face, which can be lovely on a hot summer day. It has good facilities, including disability access. While it's fantastic for a more serious swim, sometimes it can get a bit of debris from the ocean, so it's worth checking conditions or council cleaning schedules if you're particular. Both offer a unique ocean swimming experience, giving you the best of both worlds – the natural salt water without the full force of the open ocean waves. They're a real highlight of Kiama!

Nice pool and the depth varies around 4-6 foot . There is also a small portion like a kids pool . Clean restrooms and enough parking space .

Liked the place very much. A good view from parking lot. Rock pool is amazing. Though it was dark when we reached but altogether a good experience.

Beautiful spot. Early winter mornings, have the whole pool to yourself! Dolphins easy to see from here.

The best place for vacation，You will have a great day！

When the cliff got that endless grass expanse right to the edge and the small remnant Forest got that magical glade

The car park on the map has only enough space for 3 or 4 cars. Better to park on the nearby street. The trail is relatively easy, 4/10. The huge open field and ocean view makes the walk a quite unique experience.

Went to see the little blow hole here. There weren't too many people here so we were able to see, take pictures and leave with no problem of parking.

Beautiful place to roam with friends and family.

That’s one good place to visit. Very close to Kiama Blowhole as well as the Little Blowhole. Though, please he mindful that you need to walk a few 100m to get to the most scenic view place. You could hike & go to a few other good spots from here. It is really windy here sometimes but the view would be just worth it.

Stunning view with lots geographically information. Surprise to find out that the rocks cover these areas are over 225 million years.

Lovely trail and beautiful view. Note: there are only 3 parking space on the car park, so you may wanna park on the street instead.

Kiama Beach offers a relaxing coastal experience with beautiful views and a clean shoreline. The highlight is the rockpool, which is well-maintained and perfect for a refreshing swim. It’s a great spot for families, with safe areas to explore and enjoy. Highly recommended for a laid-back day by the sea!

The area in and around Kiama is known for its beaches, blowholes, volcanic rock formations and scenic stretches of coastal walks. The Kiama Lighthouse was built in 1187 and is located at Blowhole Point.

Beautiful place with light house and blow hole. A must visit place

Nice , love , relax

Best place to visit ever.

Lovely and easy walk

Nice walk

Omg everyone should visit this observatory at least once in their life

Great views of the coast and East's Beach. There are 2 picnic tables and a BBQ, as well as a bench seat looking off to the water. There is no toilet facility here, however it is a short walk away down Elanora Road.

Stunning views and pedestrian access to whale watching

I like the stars in the night sky.

Love this coastal walk. A popular route is Gerringong to Kiama to avoid the uphill slog to Gerringong...

Luv the view,not very well looked after by council,no toilets..

Great place

I think an appropriate name would be Spring Creek Bat Hide. Was enjoying the lovely scenery until my partner and I looked up to see bats as far as the eye could see. It was like Alfred Hitchcock's film, but with bats. Not for the faint hearted. Pack spare undergarments. PS I saw two birds and they were lovely.

An observation hut that is located between the freshwater lake and lagoon enables a close-up view of the many water birds that inhabit the area. Clearly marked grass pathway to follow to the hide.

Nice bird hide. Google directions were misleading. Path not obvious. Go left off path before bridge and walk across grass behind houses, then path becomes clear

Saw hundreds of flying foxes perched in the trees.

Faces the highway, and so close. The traffic noise is high. Tranquillity rating = 1/10

Beautiful wetlands, tucked in amongst the infrastructure but with lots of native plants and birds.

Beautiful wetlands and great bird watching

My partner and I chose to celebrate our 4-year anniversary at this restaurant based on its high Google review rating. Sadly, the experience fell far short of our expectations. We opted for the set menu (as pictured), but the portions were disappointingly small. To make matters worse, the waiting time between each dish was unreasonably long. Our dinner lasted over two hours, but 90 minutes of that was spent waiting, as it only took about five minutes to finish each dish due to the tiny portions.

We went for lunch and we both had the fish and chips and it was amazing! The best fish and chips I have had to date! Washed down with a great glass of moscato! I recommend giving this place a try. We will definitely come back when we visit Kiama again.

The food here is awesome. Had an amazing seafood lunch. All tasty and fresh. This is Friday 251 which represents five years of Friday seafood lunches. This one was right up there great food, great vibe and great staff.

We were having course dinner here, the foods here are nice and we ordered scallop for our entrees, duck confit and beef steak for our main courses.

We loved the food and service today at Silica. I had the Ginger Oysters and Grilled barramundi superb!!! The wine list complements the menu perfectly. The playlist of background music was good too. The service was fast and was never left with an empty glass.

Went for dinner, which is a tasting menu, and the food was good, modern Australian which isn't my favourite cuisine as I prefer bolder flavours, but was tasty. I especially loved the dessert. Service was good, and with a full restaurant the dishes came out at regular intervals - the kitchen must run like clockwork! The ambiance was difficult to digest though, lots of concrete and wood, lots of echo, which meant the moment it was full, I had to raise my voice for my partner to hear, and the servers were leaning in and talking in our ears to ask our drink orders. Good for food, terrible of you want a romantic date with conversation.

What a lovely day in Kiama. Gorgeous sunny day and just the right temperature. We called in at Silica for a nice family meal and very glad we did. There’s a nice view of the water there from on high upstairs. All meals were terrific here. My barramundi was a beauty. Cooked perfectly including with wonderful crispy skin. Rick Stein himself couldn’t have done it better. The world’s most beautiful woman loved her two entree size meals as well - a very tender calamari and an engagingly good eggplant dish. Two of our party had fish and chips and declared them very good. Another had gnocchi and enjoyed it immensely. Our coffees to finish were very tidy as well. Service was lovely throughout. Out predominant server from Holland was excellent. This is a very sound bistro. Highly recommended.

The walk is quite serene. You will spot a lyrebird or two in the shrub if you are lucky. The waterfall at the end of the walk is wonderful with a great photo opportunity from the spacious viewing deck. The path is solid and fully built up, but be warned that it is steep in parts.

Really nice rain forest walk that is well set out. There is some uphill at times but the easy walk should be doable for most people. The harder walk is a lot steeper and i didn’t try that one. We saw some lyrebirds and water dragons. You can hear lots of birds throughout the forest. Would definitely come again, and very family friendly.

We have been coming here as a family for years ; the visitor centre is informative and offers snacks, beverages and well considered souvenirs; the rainforest walk is on raised boardwalks and the waterfall is spectacular; a good uphill walk but accessible for all with plenty of seats and rest areas , a great rainforest introduction, but definitely worth revisiting time and time again ! It does get really busy , so we would recommend weekdays or early mornings to get the best experience!

Minnamurra Rainforest Walk is an absolute gem on the NSW South Coast! From the moment you step onto the path, you're enveloped in truly lush, vibrant vegetation. It feels like stepping into another world, with towering trees, ancient ferns, and the rich sounds of the rainforest all around you. The walking paths are incredibly well-maintained, making for an easy and enjoyable stroll, even for those with limited mobility (though some sections to the falls are steeper). The elevated boardwalks are fantastic for getting a close-up view of the canopy and the various creeks. What really stands out is the descriptive signage throughout the walk. We learned so much about the unique flora and fauna, and it really enriched the experience. The informative visitor centre at the start is also excellent, with friendly staff who can provide helpful tips and more context about the rainforest. All day parking costs $12 and is fair for about 3 hours of quality time. A truly worthwhile visit for nature lovers of all ages. We loved every minute of it!

Good walk and waterfall, beautiful rainforest. Lyre bird track is closed for repairs and upgrade but the track to the waterfall is open. Note that this is mostly uphill to the falls and gets quite steep around the 3/4 mark but worth it. Maybe take stops along the way if challenged.

Decided to go for a hike with my daughter today, parking was easily accessible & cost $12 a car per entry. Hike was quite challenging at times but we made it to the waterfall which was very beautiful. We enjoyed nature at its best & would come back again for another hike soon!

Very well maintained trail. However it's a pretty steep walk for a relatively smaller waterfall, some of the others nearby like Fitzroy and Carrington are bigger and much easier to visit.

Beautifully maintained centre, and very friendly team members!

I had an emergency and wanted to charge my laptop for some critical telecommunication work. Even though the centre had just closed, I knocked and asked Kylie and her colleague to help. They let me in and allowed me to use the plug point, using which I could finish a very important task. Really appreciate their understanding and friendly help.

The knowledge of the staff was excellent. It was so,so valuable being able to ask specific questions of staff who have relevant local knowledge, this surpasses the generality of the world wide web. Everyone was friendly, polite and super helpful. Lyanne is made for the role she is in especially. I also loved the indigenous choices of gifts in the centre too.

I had the pleasure of dealing with a love lady by the name of Debbie at the Kiama Visitor Centre. I was trying to arrange accomodation in the area without luck. Debbie offered to ring around and find accomodation. She found a lovely place to stay at reasonable price. She was so obliging and helpful and I wish to show my appreciation and recommend her to anyone needing help in the area. Thank you. Ken

Great little visitor centre with heaps on info on the area. Staff are friendly and informative. There are also public toilets around the side which are clean and stocked. Handy before exploring the area after a long drive down from Sydney.

Sylvia was so helpful assisting us getting accomodation.

A wealth of information is on offer for Kiama and the surrounding areas. There’s pamphlets on all local attractions and more. The building can be easily found near the lighthouse and blowhole.

Stopped by for a simple espresso and croissant and it really hit the spot! Espresso was super smooth and croissant was delicious & super crispy like it had just been baked (it was 2pm). Friendly faces tops it all off nicely. Great little place!!

Tucked away on a quiet side street off the main road, this spot offers a delightful selection of food and sweets. We ordered a long black and a house-made chocolate brownie. I’m usually cautious with black coffee, but this one was a pleasant surprise—smooth, well-balanced, and with just the right amount of kick to re-energise us. The brownie was exceptional—baked on-site, it was rich without being overly sweet, perfectly fudgy in the centre with a light crunch on the outside. One of the best I’ve had in a long time. An absolute treat!

Just had the Chicken Fricasse ready made meal. Absolutely sensational. Will be back for more. Pastries are always delicious and love the little taste of something sweet that comes with your coffee/chai. See you soon!!

Customer service is amazing. I wanted dark hot choc but they don’t hv it on menu. The lady barista made three for us from dark choc powder. Cakes: I love their hazelnut tea cake taste like butter biscuits but not too sweet.

Beautifully made pastries, bread, and sweet treats. The coffee was a thumbs up too. The ham & cheese croissant, pies, and frittatta were absolutely delicious. Thank you for the dedication to your craft, a lovely experience.

Bought the gluten free egg quiche, way too salty with both feta cheese and black olives. Cold in the centre. Cutlery wrapped in serviette but soaking wet at the base

Nice selection of pastries and sweets. The Dulce de Leche Chocolate Tart and Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Brownie were both delicious.

Beautiful beach, but many people so it's a little more secluded , it is clean with amenities in the carpark

The beach is still very natural and peaceful.

Beautiful clean beach with amazing ancient rock formations

Beautiful and clean beach with free parking and toilets at the north end of it

Amazing beach with white sand.

Stunning beach overlooking the Kiama city. You can see the lighthouse in the distance, especially pretty when it's darker and all the lights come on. The place is beautiful in the sunset time. Good amount of parking, public toilets and the waves look pretty good. Great place for families.

Bombo Beach is a stunning stretch of coastline located just north of Kiama on the South Coast of New South Wales. Known for its raw, untamed beauty, this beach offers golden sands, powerful surf, and dramatic rock formations that make it a standout destination for nature lovers and photographers alike. The beach is popular among experienced surfers due to its consistent waves and exposed conditions. The surf can be intense, so it’s best suited for confident swimmers and surfers, especially outside of patrolled hours. During the summer months, lifeguards are usually present, offering a safe swimming area for visitors. What sets Bombo Beach apart is its striking volcanic rock formations at the southern end. These ancient basalt columns create a surreal, almost otherworldly landscape—perfect for exploring or capturing on camera during sunrise or sunset. Bombo is also pet-friendly, with a designated off-leash area making it ideal for dog owners. Public amenities including toilets, showers, and parking are available, adding to the beach’s convenience. With its combination of wild scenery, surf culture, and natural charm, Bombo Beach is a must-visit for those seeking a unique coastal experience. Whether you’re there to surf, explore, or simply relax, Bombo offers something memorable for everyone.

Beautiful and clean beach. A good place to spend time with family. The pictures are taken using a drone just after sunrise where you can see the rays hitting the water in the background. Recommend place to visit as the photos don’t do justice to its beauty.

Beautiful beach protected by headlands on either side. The caravan park sits mostly up the hill so isn't too intrusive. The coastal walk stops here so it's lovely to get to.

Solitary surrounded by peaks… very relaxing and beauty

Big 4 camp-site is awesome !! Staff Great and plenty to for the kids !

This yea again did not get disappointed, and surely years to come will be even better. This Park constantly improving, updating and making it better and better. Safe for kids and all

Great view, nice beach one if the better ones of Kiama!

Anywhere in Kiama is beautiful. Easts Beach is a small, beautiful, moderately busy beach. The surf is generally the calmest of Kiama's beaches, making it a great family beach - safe for small kids. No dogs. Parking is difficult, unless you want to pay to park in the caravan park that envelopes the beach. The caravan park has a kiosk.

Lovely location , unfortunately didn't see a single whale , however the area and place was fantastic to visit

Yes we went for a drive today and visited the Geringong Whale 🐳 watching platform and the Japanese 🇯🇵 Whale 🐳 Sanctuary Sushi 🍣 only in Japan and not America this time and the Theory of Humpback 🐋 Whales 🐳 Calling each other out for it is the same thing as Birds they sing every single morning to the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Yeshua Messiah He created Everything visible and invisible Whales 🐳 cows 🐄 moon 🌒 stars 🤩 galaxy Sun world 🌎 worlds 🌎 the New Jerusalem You and me birds they sing praises to Jesus Christ and the Whales 🐳 and Charles Darwin Theory of evolution is still alive and still a theory a lie Jesus Christ IAM the way the truth and the life On one comes to the Father God Adonia but Through Jesus Christ ! I went to a Art Exhibition and Jesus Christ creation is better and the homes on Tasmania Drive were better than the art works

I’m sitting here in my mobility scooter, the throne they can’t take from me no matter how many times they try. Cigarette in one hand, 2-litre Pepsi in the other (my fuel, my shield), binoculars clenched in my extra hand — yes, I have more than two hands when I need them — and Meghan Markle folded neatly into my other palm. She’s here because I allow her to be. I’m watching for the whales. Not animals. Not anymore. Government operatives disguised as sea life, moving under orders they think I don’t understand. My binoculars may only have 2x zoom, but my eyes see through everything. I know the codes. I know who’s real and who’s pretending. And then — a flash. A whale, a spy, a shape in the water. No — it’s my reflection, distorted in the scooter’s mirror. They’ve been using reflections to confuse me for years. But I am still ahead of them. Legally, they’re not whales yet. But I know the paperwork’s in motion. A sound to my left. A lighter flick — that’s a signal. I turn. There he is: a large man, easily the size of two adult blue whales. Sitting on the bench like he owns it, a Green Woolies bag pulsing like a beacon beside him. He thinks I don’t know he’s here for me. He thinks. Then he stands. The ground quakes — or maybe I do. He walks to the edge of the platform. The audacity. He relieves his bladder like some ritual and then leaps into the ocean, joining the herd. Swimming with them. No shame. No hesitation. Gone. I sit in my scooter. Furious. Awestruck. Betrayed. Vindicated. All at once. This is grace. This is power. This is why the world fears me and needs me at the same time. Five stars. Nothing less. Nothing more. I didn’t see whales — I saw truth. And no one else would’ve survived it. 🚬🐳🍷🙌

It is a wonderful location for observing whales breaching the ocean. One does not even need to utilize ferries to view the whales, as they come up quite close. There is ample parking available, although caution is advised due to the proximity of the cliff.

Worth the short walk for a fabulous vista !

Stunning views with a little cemetery full of beautiful rose gardens and lush green hill background. Further down and towards the north is the whale watching platform which is obstructed by the bushland in front. Not sure if you would be able to see any whales from it. The carpark is very small so consider yourself lucky if you get a spot.

Top spot indeed . Quaint graveyard to the right & look left for a Birds Eye view of Gerringong. Can’t rush perfection, this is a truly magnificent location . Gotta love it 😍

Its a very unique thing here & really one of the amazing visiting area but I must say it's overrated. The video & picture we see online it's not that much upper category. But still good place to visit. Recommended.

Highly recommend stopping here if passing through! The blowhole was cool, although if you keep walking past it and on to the rocks, the view out into the water was even better! A great place to watch waves crashing, and possibly see whales if they're passing by!

great place to relax and have time either family and friends. A breathtaking natural wonder that leaves visitors in awe, watching the water coming up from the blowhole point is fantastic!

Even during the wild weather of this past week we were able to swim every day in this pool. Local information sharing on water temperature and other local happening make this a fun place to visit.

The view is stunning, the blowhole didnt blow up but it was great just to lay down there

Mother Nature never disappoints but this is truly a gem to find. You don’t have to wait long to see the magnificent display. Spend some time, feel the breeze of the ocean spray, and enjoy your day.

Must visit if you are nearby to it, rock beaches and blowhole its amazing

After a lovely walk of the point, finishing with this very picturesque surf beach, with lovely golden sands

Excellent beach with good waves for surfers. The beach was quiet without many tourists. Very good for a day out with family and friends. There were cormorants and seagulls staying around. They provided many photo opportunities. This place was a heaven and very relaxing.

Had a great experience with family… Beautiful sea view and nice places have some excellent photos… had great weekend with kids , there is small park for kids as well if they got bored… sufficient car parking available… please be careful while climbing rocks to get photos… we visited in Jan month, disappointed up see famous blow hole not getting any height blows, may be timing is wrong…

This place was so scenic and beautiful. I walked along here for a while. It was great and I really enjoyed listening to the waves as I went along. The tall trees are so humbling to me. I highly recommend coming here. The milk and honey cafe which is along the walk is awesome also. They have great food.

Beautiful is the only way to describe this lovely beach. Family friendly, and safe for kids!

Amazing little beach. Great location. Gets pretty packed. Sometimes a little too busy. Best go off peak days/hours. Life guards are great. Nice grass park/playground area too. Love the town. Please like my review if it was helpful. Pro tip: head to Robertson in the highlands and check out the old Dairy pheasant ground Air B n B. Or the Run at Pheasant Ground for RV camping.

Kiama is one if the beautiful places in NSW. It's too scenic. Beaches are very clean and less crowded. Best for photography. There are too many pine tress which enhances the beauty of this place. Loved visiting kiama ❤

While I enjoy visiting the beach, I've noticed it could use some attention in terms of cleanliness, particularly due to an abundance of wood spikes that require careful navigation while walking. Perhaps it's quieter on weekdays due to people being at work, but it does offer a serene atmosphere. The high waves make it ideal for surfing enthusiasts, which is a plus. I appreciate that they've designated separate areas for dog walking, ensuring a pleasant experience for all visitors.

An underrated beach in Minnamurra.

A great place to run the dogs and explore! So pretty

A calm corner, close to cathedral rocks which allows dogs.

Nice long stretch of clean beach generally quite. Swim in patrolled area. Plenty of rips around.

Nice beach not far from bombo and Kiama. Can walk to Cathederal Rock from here.

Nice beach, lots of surfers here

Changing tides festival held at Kiama showground.

Great overnight camp, lovely walks and close to a great beach

Went there gas spectator at Kiama 7s Rugby tournament. The Kiama Rugby clubhouse offered good views of the games and served beer etc. There was plenty of seating at top ground. Not so much at bottom ground. Never been there for anything else.

A gorgous place to watch the waves !

A little washed out today. When the sun is out it is a beautiful place

Great rugby field beautiful view

I attended a convention at The Pavilion at this site with several other members of my club. An excellent facility for this purpose.

Nice to morning walk, sunrise is great! 3rd Sunday of the month there is an amazing market! Different Show to enjoy with families like car shows....

Very Cool place for family gatherings

Beautiful little spot

Looking at this place for the first time as a Bombo resident. This location pin is set at the South end of Bombo Beach. Locals know the rocky beach next to the "black beach reserve" as the true Black Beach. It is located closer to the Kiama CBD and the harbour.

Top walk for doggies, and a beaut rockpool at the west side..

A nice walk around the harbour on a cloudy day.

love black beach the sand dyes you black, that is a 5.5 star rating from me

Very popular and well loved beach

Dangerous beach for swimming when waves are rough. Sandbars & rips can be unpredictable at Surf Beach Kiama. Jan 2013 & Oct 2023 saw multiple person rescues here. Don't swim here when rough, by yourself, if lifesavers not in attendance or outside of the flags. If you get into difficulty, NEVER swim against a rip, you'll tire quickly & probably drown. Go with the rip (as scary as it seems at first), float on your back using your hands to assist floatation, conserve your energy, concentrate on your breathing & staying afloat. The rip will eventually fade, then raise a hand for assistance if needed. Otherwise swim back to beach at an angle to avoid any futher rips.

Very clean beach. Waves are quite big. There is a park behind the beach.

One of the best , remote, peaceful and lovely beach near Sydney. Not far from Kiama Blow Hole, this beach offers surfing, eating and accommodation , all encompassed in one place. Going as a group will be more enjoyable. Note : If you are a vegetarian and want to get some hot food, you can get some yummy food from Helensburgh Venkateshawara Temple and head down to the beach.

Just wonderful

Nice beach, clean facilities, bbq and picnic tables, playground. Patrolled most of the time!

Nice.

My husband and I recently got married at the winery’s beautiful new venue and all I can say is wow! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations—the stunning space, the incredible staff, the delicious food, and the flawless service. Rachel, who supported us through the planning process, is truly one in a million. She was patient, friendly, and genuinely cared about making our wedding everything we had dreamed of. Thanks to her and the entire team, the day was seamless, stress-free, and so special. We are beyond impressed and loved every moment of our experience. We couldn’t recommend this venue more highly to anyone considering it for their wedding-you will be in the best hands.

The revamped restaurant and bar is beautiful, and the friendly staff + magnificent food is as good as ever! We had a site visit with Rachel who is like a superhero that can do so many things at once—still giving us the proper time of day despite a busy long weekend lunch service. We love that you can choose to dine on a picnic mat on the lawn or at a sit down in the restaurant. Food is always fresh and delicious. Plated in a rustic style, yet the flavour combos are always so modern! We’ve celebrated many milestones here and can’t wait to keep coming back!

Fantastic long lunch at the restaurant, great wines, food was tasty and well presented. The girls on the floor were also very attentive and were great hosts! There is also a more casual side where you can enjoy snacks, charcuterie and a tasting overlooking the vineyard if you don’t want to dine at the restaurant. Will be coming back here next time we are in the area!

We absolutely loved this place!!! Such a beautiful venue with stunning views. The wine tasting was really great aswell! Ashley’s service was amazing.

Beautiful views which are hard to beat. The service was a bit strange. Whilst I don’t ever like being rushed, it went the total other way where they didn’t really pay us any attention, requiring us to try and make eye contact to order another drink, or for them to clear our plates (10 - 15 minutes after we finished eating), or requesting the dessert menu, and then the bill. The food was nice, but I don’t think it was worth the price.

Thankyou to the team for helping us celebrate my dad's 80th. Your service was friendly and attentive. Food was delicious. My only issue is we couldn't stay longer. Although we were a bit noisy so hopefully didn't upset too many guests.... Thankyou again. The revamped venue is beautiful and elegant.

We had such an amazing experience with our wedding at crooked river. Rachel and the team were fantastic during our wedding and the service added to our experience. Rachel made the process leading up to our wedding easy, we had a question she would answer without ease. My husband and I do love to come down for a weekend glass of wine which is a nice day away from Sydney

I recommend driving to Gerringong station, catching a train to Kiama, then doing the coastal walk to Gerringong & keep the sun at your back. So you have your car at the end, and not to worry about the train schedule (which runs only every two hours) while walking. Also check the tide schedule.

Such an exceptional and breathtaking beautiful nature. There's a bit of an up and down hill which makes it above average considering the length, however, it's not a difficult walk. We walked from Kiama side to be back to the sun and got Uber on the way back. Note that several parts of the track are too muddy and need proper boots. Most importantly, when ended a few hours walk at the Werri Beach it was a high tide and we had to go waist deep in water to pass the Werri Gully entrance!

Pls follow Toni's advice!!! If you gonna walk daytime, start from Kiama as he said! Sun behind you😂 doesn't matter whenever, DAYTIME! I went by train from CBD, started at central and stopped at Kiama. Walked from Kiama to Gerringong (it's around 3-4 hrs! Not 6! as the google map said) Go in spring or autumn are better. Put a lot of sunscreen! my back got burnt. And from Werri beach (Gerringong), pls walke a bit to see the best road view in NSW 😂😂 it's at the end of the beach. Then walk 20 min to Gerringong station. Unfortunately our train was delayed 70 mins then we took Uber to Kiama around $30 and 10 mins. P.S. Ask ppl there to share the ride with you for cheaper price🥺 !! Many hills and slope🫠 but worth to do! !! Don't forget to take full bottle of water and great sneakers with you. Ofc power bank as well if run out of batter, you can ask staffs at station for charging your phone. No cable needs, they've plate with many adapters at the counter.

Spectacular walk for the moderately fit. Just remember to check the water level of the Werri lagoon - after heavy rains, it may be unpassable on foot.

What a walk. Only one problem was how much mud there was in sections and how slippery it was, hubby fell. But it has awesome vistas. Just wonderful. You do need to be relatively fit as there are quite a lot of up hills. It is a long walk so be sure to have good walking shoes and you do need some stamina. Not a bird lovers hike, very few.

One of our very favourite places to visit and relax. Views are amazing! Every corner is just beautiful 😍

Wonderful walk, that's not too strenuous, with glorious ocean views.

Great views of the south. Good parking areas. We go there for relatively dark skies for astrophotography

Exposed and beautiful. The headland has tons of space to walk and explore with off leash dog area . The are expansive views down seven mile beach and back up the coast. Sun rise and sunset best for photo ops

Beautiful sweeping views, you can see some bird wildlife out on the rocks

Beautiful view, beautiful beach next to it.

N the end of the point on the Northern tip of Seven Mile Beach. Sticks right out into the ocean Panaramic views from Kiama to Ulladulla. Great place to watch whales from March to October.

Breathtaking view. Great place to see the high tides and the beautiful backdrop of mountains. Easy to access and plenty of space to park your car.

Dramatic scenery with large open space reserve. Easy access down to rock platform during low tide.

Stayed a night on a whim. Campground is small (4 tent sites) so was beautifully quiet on a Sunday night, well designed and clean. Facilities decent but basic: drop/eco toilets, bring your own water and remove your own rubbish. Short walk to basic picnic spot (couple of tables), a few walking trails and lovely water holes. Only disappointments were the lack of any meaningful onsite acknowledgement of local Aboriginal peoples (shameful), and the atrocious layout of the NSW National Parks website. It is literally the worst NPs website in the entire country. Seriously my dudes - please just get some actually decent park/trails maps and then... (revolutionary idea!)... put them in👏the👏same👏place👏 on the website as the walking trails info. Why would those *not* be together? And yes, I did eventually give-in and download the app instead. It wasn't good either, lol. It did make me laugh, but it didn't help me plan my trip at all 😂

We couldn’t find the viewpoint to the grand fall... but we ended up here and had so much fun, even without swimsuit. But a pair of good shoes is recommended if you want to get into the water. We met a very friendly family on that day, may god bless them.

Amazing scenery. Beautiful walks. The little waterfall swimming hole was a gem. Please like my review if it was helpful. Pro-tip: Check out the Old Dairy pheasant ground Air B n B in Robertson or the Run @ Pheasant Ground RV camping. +61 428 266 094

The peaceful serenity and walk out to The waterfall is both amazing and beautiful. The calm around the area is intoxicating. With a cafe and toilets the national park is well worth the trip.

Absolutely loved it here. It is so stunning and feels like an escape from reality. If you haven’t been already, I would absolutely recommend. I often think about this particular spot when I need a ‘pick me up’.

The view is nice, but not realy spectaculair. There are a few different hikes for everybody, even when your disabled or in a wheelchair. The walk to the falls is pretty easy, when you go further it's getting a bit mor difficult. Narrow steep steps, no stairs but rock steps are making the path. With kids it's cool because they think they're of the track and making their own exploring. We've turned back after the cove. It was bucketing and it's a long walk then. Rainbow in the valley was our reward!

Great walk to the lovely waterfalls, plenty of Lyrebirds along the way for people with a keen eye! Very peaceful and tranquil setting. Lots of maintenance occurring at the moment, visitor centre being rebuilt from the ground up and parts of the tracks being upgraded. Tracks are well maintained and easy to walk. Well recommended day trip.

Absolutely fantastic day, whoever invented the Huts/Cabins - deserves a award.. The train ride to your destinations is also a great idea. Our three kids haven’t experienced something like this before, they want me to buy land next door and then buy a season pass.. it was a excellent day Thank you to all the employees, who were very helpful, especially the lovely lady’s who were very helpful in the surf shack

Jamberoo water park is an amazing spot on a hot day to go with friends or family- the hot day that I went was perfect because it was nice and busy, but when you get to the entrance on the slide or activity there was no people on almost all of the slides, so you can do it as many times as you want in a short time. The water park had so many different things to do including a 5 metre rock jump, mini golf, and obviously lots of rides. It only took about 3 mins to buy tickets on site and then a small walk to the first thing- everything is very accessible from anywhere in the place and it is the perfect spot if you're looking for an action packed day.

It was a truly wonderful experience. The car journey to the park, winding through the bushes and offering ocean views, was quite amazing. The water park itself met our expectations, and we had a great deal of fun. The weather was ideal, neither too hot nor too cold. There weren't many people, which allowed us to enjoy all the rides without lengthy waits. The rides were enjoyable and suitable for all ages, which meant our family could experience almost all of them together. However, we were unable to locate a changing room, which was a minor disappointment. Nevertheless, it was a pleasure to be there with the family and have such an amazing experience.

My 5 year old son and I had a great time. The staff were friendly and helpful. Plenty of rides for all ages. This place is a full water theme park and we loved it. Nothing was too over priced either which is great after paying the entry fee. Lockers are conveniently located throughout the park and so are the toilets. We arrived just after 10am on a Sunday in school holidays and were in the gates within about 5 minutes

Super fun day out, not long wait times. Staff were super friendly and will definitely be going back again. Perfect storm was 10/10

Jamberoo Action Park is an incredible place for a fun-filled day with family! We visited recently, and it exceeded all our expectations. The park offers a great variety of rides and attractions for all ages, from thrilling water slides to relaxing wave pools. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the facilities were well-maintained. We spent the whole day there, from 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM, and the kids couldn’t stop smiling—they had an absolute blast! There’s something for everyone to enjoy, and it’s the perfect way to create unforgettable memories. Highly recommend visiting Jamberoo; it’s totally worth it!

Friendly staff. Just enough rides to exhaust 3 teenagers for the day. Definitely fun for adults. What's not to like about Jamberoo? Tip: take the chair lift for the view (and for the toboggans). Oh and beat 16.24 secs on the Octo! :)

It’s little, and it blows. Lives up to its name in every way. Nature’s cheeky party trick, one moment you’re admiring the view, the next you’re wearing a light mist facial, free of charge. Smaller than its famous big brother, but far more entertaining if you enjoy surprise spritzes and the occasional squeal from unsuspecting tourists. Highly recommended.

Amazing experience - got wonderful pictures- but the most beautiful ones are not on the phone but etched in our memories. Such beauty in nature and just listening to the waves hitting the shore put you into a tranquil place.

Beautiful FREE place to visit just outside of Kiama about 10 minutes drive south of the Big Blowhole (which only blows under certain conditions) - the Little Blowhole is always blowing, the height varies on the size of the wave approaching. Platform viewing area or walk down right near the waters edge. Always blowing no matter what the weather - well worth the look. Off-road car parking lot.

Great place to see the wonders of nature at play. After a visit to the Kiama blowhole you really must see the little blowhole working its heart out for you, just a few km down the road (2 points to the south) it performs better and higher than the main blow hole.

Been watching the weather page for wave swell direction. Today was near perfect with south east 3 metre swell.

Amazing natural phenomenon that will give you a thrill when a nice set of waves hit. We went to both the the large and small blow hole and the small still gives a punch in smaller conditions where as the large blow hole requires larger eaves to get going

No tickets needed to visit this place and no card payments required. Beautiful location and easy to get to. The area also has a big blow hole and can be a good walk for those that like a hike.

Went for lunch on Monday. Lunch special Rump salad & chips were excellent & great value for money. 😋 Lovely friendly club & all staff friendly & helpful

We last ate here 2 years ago and loved it so much, we returned the following night. Having heard they've changed caterer's we were cautious about coming back here but we cannot fault our experience at the club. All staff members were friendly and welcoming, quick with a laugh and some tips on places to visit nearby. The have Resch's on tap, so there's a bonus star from me. The food was delicious, we had the red curry from the menu while I ordered the sticky pork belly parmi off the specials board. Now this was so good, they should add it to the permanent menu. What a treat, and the schnitzel was huge. Both meals were cooked to perfection and portions were large, so it's great value for money. This club is a great place to pop in for a bite and drink, with plenty of specials each day of the week.

Food is sub par compared to previous owners. Tried many combos on the menu and all are dry, lacking in flavour or soggy! Steak is never as you order it and the new stake sandwich is soggy! Sauce has been downsized to tiny… so tiny you fishy your meal and could have had three more servings of sauce! Not to say $30 a steak sandwich(new on the menu annd zero comparison) and buns not even toasted, no bacon and just untastey! Not impressed from a local!

This was fine. Food was just okay and service a bit abrupt. We were expecting the fun and welcoming experience of a surf club restaurant with good seafood etc but this place is a bit more geared towards locals and meat raffles. Better options in the area.

Have to agree with another review. Thought we'd try new caterer and menu. Extremely disappointing. Ossobuco was drowning in stodgy tomato sauce and pasta with frozen vegetables. Tasteless. Fisherman's basket was obvious frozen fish variety.. no different to something we could get at Woollies. Table service no longer exists and you need to collect your food. This is a shame when you see older people struggle to collect their meals. Bring back Cabo chef and menu! Sadly we too won't be back unless we hear there are changes. This is a shame as we like to support local and have done so at this Bowlo for years.

Enjoyed a good meal at the Bowls - good country hospitality with very friendly staff. Great atmosphere, mixing with the locals. Nice to see the pride they take in the place!

Service was pretty ordinary, kinda got that vibe their job was like a chore Had 1 drink and left... bit of an unpleasant vibe from staff

Such a great variety, we especially enjoyed the pet nursery.💕💕

Good place for families and Good Lookout for the sea, also near to kiama blowhole

Always look forward to the ride down from Penrith as there's plenty to do at the markets and in and around Kiama itself. A must ride if you're a motorcycle enthusiast 😎

Always nice and relaxing day with very nice people 100% recommended

Small market but some great stalls there. Two main ones I spent time at were a gin distillery and a meat spice rub stall. Both people were very friendly and knowledgeable, products were also high quality.

This was a pop up day. A fantastic range of artisans, I always have the honey & fudge, luckily Fibre for Good was there for with their incredible fabric clothes. Couldn't go past our local Gin, Tidal Lines! Lots of great fashions, macrame, crystals, jams and chutneys. And much enjoyment from a local band. So much more to name. Watch out for the next Market.

Cute little market along the water with all handmade products. Was a nice start to a day out in Kiama. Had a really good croissaint and bought some jam and cured meat. My friends bought soap and a really cool gin. Worth a visit.

Absolutely stunning place. I'm obviously not the only one who thinks so, because I saw an ordinary house had been sold on the street overlooking the waterfront area, looked it up and saw it went for $6.2m! Also saw several Airbnbs, and the train station (train from Sydney) is in exceptionally easy walking distance. As in, definitely visit, live elsewhere.

Great little swim and picnic spot, tables , shower stairs down to the water and plenty of parking even a Cafe nearby.

A calmer area from which to launch kayaks, paddle boards or simply to have a safer swim spot for the kids

Very pretty, nice picnic tables. We took our Granson it was a lovely place for him to paddle in the water, he is only 4years old

Great place for small children to play in calm and shallow water (with supervision)

A warm, sunny winter day; calm seas; fresh air and lots of happy people with their dogs. Please may we have some seats so we can rest ; it would be good.

Great little park next to the water. Stoped in & had a Gerringong Pizza by the water

Such a cool little beach to visit! Feels very secluded for a nice swim, but a bit of a steep walk down for anyone elderly / injured. There was a storm rolling in the day I visited, but only added to the atmosphere!

What an amazing place to visit! Wear comfortable shoes and walk it all...

Quiet tranquil place with nice views. Rocky beach.

Nice hangout spot. Dog friendly

This small beach is a really good place to let the dog have a swim and for his human to relax (not actually sure if dogs are allowed!).

Pretty spot worth the visit. Gorgeous clear water. Lots of rocks and stones.

A cozy beach mostly covered with pebbles and rocks.
