Glasshouse Rocks — Attraction in Narooma

Amazing, spectacular, pristine and very beautiful. Entry to this area is via the top of the Narooma cliffside cemetery and you work your way down a very rough and water eroded track to the Beach, generally around 6minutes. (I'm not fit as I have a spinal injury so it takes me a very, very long time. But it's so worth the week of increased pain )

The beach, leaves you speechless, wide areas of surf, wide sandy beaches. Rock outcrops with waves crashing, and Rock pools to explore and amazing geology to be found in the rock formations.

The Glasshouse Rock gets it's name from the unsual appearance of the rocks underwater as some look like glass, transparent in the right light. But when you approach them they appear normal.

Overall, a great walk with many spectacular photo...

Accessed from the Cemetery, turn right to car park at end. Then follow white fence and go down track past big tree. This was the best place in Narooma for us. From the Cemetry walk down the track onto the beach (hence why best at lowtide) follow the beach round and get up close to the rocks. There is far more to see in the rocks close up and far more of them. Patterns and different types of rocks, cracks and crevices. We had great fun trying to see different animal shapes. Can you find our dragon? No dogs in the Cemetery but when We were on the beach there were a few dogs...
