You’ve probably never been here… and honestly, that’s part of the charm 😉
MM Beach in Port Kembla is all wide-open sand and rolling waves. The kind of beach that makes you cancel plans and stay ‘just one more hour.’
Consider this your official excuse to explore a little further south! 🌊

Early alarms never looked so good - especially when Wollongong can deliver sunrises like this:
✨ Bald Hill Lookout: Watch the sun spill over the coastline from above - dramatic cliffs, rolling waves and front-row seats to the Pacific waking up.
✨ Windang Island: A little wild, a little magical - as the sky turns golden over the tiny island, everything feels calm and untouched.
✨ Flagstaff Hill: Lighthouse silhouettes, golden skies and that iconic Wollongong backdrop doing what it does best.
✨ Sandon Point Beach: A fiery, burnt orange sunrise spilling over the ocean rocks - dramatic in the best way.
✨ Austinmer Ocean Pools: Still water, glowing skies and ocean pools reflecting every colour of the morning.
Alright, sunrise chasers - where’s your go-to spot in Wollongong? Drop it in the comments 👇

She’s been standing here since 1936, quietly making history…
When the Flagstaff Hill Lighthouse was built in 1936, it became @australia’s first fully automatic electric lighthouse - and the first new lighthouse in NSW since 1903.
Innovation with a front-row ocean view! 😍🌊
