Spring has finally turned it on – and there’s no better excuse to hit the sand. Here are a few of Wollongong’s beaches calling your name this season:
📍 City Beach: Right in the heart of town, City Beach is perfect for a dip before brunch or a sunset stroll with the skyline as your backdrop.
📍 Corrimal Beach: A local fave for families, Corrimal Beach has plenty of space to spread out, soft sand for little feet, and a relaxed vibe all day long.
📍 Sandon Point Beach: Early risers know Sandon Point is magic at sunrise – rolling waves, glowing skies and surfers carving it up.
📍 Port Kembla Beach: With its epic stretch of sand and ocean pool, Port Kembla Beach is your go-to for long walks and serious swim sessions.
📍 Bellambi Beach: Tucked away and a little more low-key, Bellambi Beach is the spot for a chilled-out picnic with coastal views.
