Heads up, Wollongong! A brand-new `No-Phones Policy` is rolling out across our most beautiful public spaces to help manage overcrowding in popular local spots and prevent them from being labelled as ‘Insta-worthy’ places.
And yes, it’s 100% enforceable 🚫📱
Locations include:
❌ Sea Cliff Bridge (Look at the view, not your notifications!)
❌ Gentleman`s Pool (Swim, don’t scroll!)
❌ Mount Keira Ring Track (Nature > TikTok)
❌ North Wollongong Beach (Sandcastles over selfies!)
❌ Bald Hill Lookout (Soak up the scenery, not your screen!)
❌ South Beach (Waves are better than Wi-Fi!)
🚔 Fines start at $100 for anyone caught tapping, texting, or taking selfies instead of embracing the IRL magic of Wollongong.
So, put the phone away and experience nature like it’s 1995!

Laps with a view? Yes, please! 😍🌊
The Continental Pool is the perfect place for a few morning laps, a saltwater splash, or just soaking up those ocean views. With 50-metre and 45-metre pools (plus one for the little swimmers), it’s a local fave for a reason!
Find it along the Blue Mile, right between Wollongong Harbour and North Wollongong Beach.
