Cove Beach — Attraction in Wollongong City Council

This place is wonderful, for a relaxing day, with plenty of places to grab a bite to eat. Unfortunately, our day was spoilt when we went to park our car just in front of the carpark area of Harbourfront Seafood Restuarant in the 4hr zone. We had bikes mounted on the roof, of our car, so we were selective as to which carspot we could use so our bikes would not hit the trees above. We noticed a vacant car spot next to a red car with a white woman who had her car door open obstructing the vacant car space. We politely asked her to close her car door so we could get into the vacant car space next to her. She told us that we couldn't park there as she was minding that space for a friend?

There are a couple of lovely restaurants you can frequent along the walk, too, to make a bit more of a day out of it. If it’s a hot day, you can swim in any of the neighbouring beaches, or even in the harbour itself. Sand castle competitions have been held at the harbour on occasion, so I assume the sand is adequate for making sand castles. I’ve also witnessed people rowing and kayaking in the harbour and beyond, so there’s that. Not to mention the children’s play equipment overlooking the harbour if your kids want something to do. The track is dog friendly also, so if you want to bring along your good boy for a walk, that’s definitely an option. It’s essentially a place...
