Blue therapy or green therapy?
Morning swims and salty skin, or rainforest walks and escarpment views…
In Wollongong, you genuinely don’t have to choose 💙💚

A full day of good food in Wollongong? We’ve planned it for you 🙌
Start with a grab-and-go coffee from @northbeachkiosk and take it straight to the sand - sunrise stroll, ocean dip, caffeine in hand. Then head into town for breakfast at @leeandme, where the plates are stacked, the flavours deliver and you’ll want to settle in for a while.
Lunch calls for @livingroomwollongong and a laid-back Greek feast - bold flavours, share plates and a table you won’t want to leave. Ease into the afternoon with a cold one at @firstlightbrewing before turning up the flavour at @bar_lina_wollongong for dinner - flame-fired Portuguese and Basque plates in a cosy, wine bar setting made for lingering.
Not ready to call it? @iluilubar is waiting for after-dinner drinks with moody lighting and cocktails that keep the night rolling 🍸
Save this for your next foodie day - or send it to the friend who’s always in charge of the booking!
