Recreational activities

The coastline surrounding Austinmer has been likened to the Cornish seaside. Its natural beauty has been recognised for over a century. Back in the early 1900s it was promoted as a premium seaside resort for Sydneysiders and Austinmer Beach is regarded as one of the top surfing beaches in the region.

The region was first put on the map by the discovery of coal, and there are still reminders of this heritage along the coast between Austinmer and Wollongong.

In addition to the sea and beaches there is plenty of opportunity to explore the mountain forests to the west and panoramic views are plenty.
