Kiama Coast Walk — Attraction in Illawarra

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.

There are sections that you cannot do in a wheelchair if you're hoping to do the entire length. It is pretty steep in spots, so you need to be reasonably fit to...

I didn’t know that this harbour was built in the 1800s to protect ships as they came in to load the blue metal from the local quarries to be shipped to Sydney for road building and as ballast for railway tracks. Also shops were loaded with local produce especially butter to Sydney and bring other cargo back to the early settlers of a kiama and nearby towns.
