From the walks around Carrington Falls near Robertson, to the trails from Minnamurra Rainforest Centre near Jamberoo, several wonderful walks and falls await visitors to this NSW national park. Well worth spending a day exploring.

This place is magic. There’s a review that there are sharks here. I hope there are, as long as they aren’t the bitey ones. There are many that act like puppy dogs, but faced with a great white, tiger, mako or bull shark I’d die before they even bite me. A bull could be there somewhere, but I will definitely be in the water when I’m there next.

Went here on Easter Sunday after seeing the markets close by, fantastic scenery all over Kiama & great to see the Blow Hole, If you go here also drive through Jamberoo scenery is Beautiful.
4. Minnamurra Falls

Don't be put off by the older reviews - Minnamurra Falls is open, easy to see, and still one of the absolute gems of the NSW South Coast. It's a beautiful drive here, and the new Visitor Centre is still under construction, but the walk is open, and now easier than ever. So easy in fact a large part of it is now open to wheelchairs, and with a bit of effort, a wheelchair could possibly do this whole loop. And the walk is lot shorter than the signs suggest. We did the loop, and the diversion to the falls in well under 2 hours, and passed plenty of young families, many with strollers. The walk to the first swing bridge is flat, and easy for wheelchairs and strollers, after that it is quite steep in parts, but is mostly long ramps with few stairs. The loop itself is the best part of the walk, with swing bridges over the river, and beautiful tall trees and rainforest ferns closing in around you. The walk to the top of the falls is a much harder slog (and narrow in parts so leave strollers behind at the turn off) and the views at the top are good, if not spectacular, now that access to the base of the falls has been permanently halted by a landslip. A great day out, a lovely picnic area and with good toilets at the visitor centre. The only red flag is parking - this is now so popular on weekend the car parks can fill up by 11 am, and they block the road until spaces are freed up. Also, check weather forecasts, as the falls and the road to them are also closed on very wet days. The parking fee is a flat $12, but there's no other fee for the walk, and you can bring your own food and drink. A must if you're visiting anywhere in the Kiama to Nowra region.

We had parked up by the lighthouse and after looking at the Blowhole decided to walk down around past the ocean pool to the harbour. The harbour is protected by a break wall and it where you find the fishing charter boats and dive boat. There is also the fishing Co Op where you can buy your fresh seafood. A nice walk and very picturesque.

This is a must visit destination. On a clear day you can see forever!!! Well worth the short drive from Kiama or Jamberoo, through beautiful dairy farming country-side.
7. Kiama Coastal Walk
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 120 reviews
Reviewed By SusanW4197 - Kiama, Australia
Kiama Coastal walks are in a few sections. You can walk from Minnamurra (close to railway station) & walk to Kiama (where there is another railway station) & catch train back. Weekend trains are less frequent so time your walk to coincide with return trip; but get a coffee, snack or lunch at one of the great cafes before you go. Then there is a walk from Kiama to Gerringong. This is along some remote farm land & more undulating & there is a creek crossing at Gerringong end. The railway station here is a fair way from the walk end & some people do a car shuffle or walk back to Kiama. Spectacular scenery, sometimes you see whales (seasonal) or seals, dolphins, white breasted sea eagles. Quieter on week days - you may be alone on walk. Can be a little muddy after heavy rain but usually OK. This is a MUST WALK - one of the top in the world.

Lovely beach with stretching views of rolling green hills and coast line. Werri beach is patrolled during the warmer months, has a lap pool and small circle pool for the little ones which we found making a beach swim so much safer. Ample parking.
9. Black Head Reserve

Reviewed By J4553CZnadias - Sydney, Australia
We love Gerroa and often stay close to Black Head Reserve with its 180 degrees + view. There are beautiful coastal walks from the Head through to 7 Mile Beach. Great for whale watching. Yesterday a pair of whales put on quite a show, breaching and slamming their tail as they made their way south. Additionally, we bring our pet dog, as the area is unleashed which makes it enjoyable for our puppy too. If you enjoy scenic coastal areas, this is one worth visiting. Down side is that there are no public toilets.

This small, out-of-the-way beach is perfect to get away from the crowds. There is sand but mostly rocky beach. Shallow for kids. The rocky shoal helps break up the waves and provides good snorkelling. Short easy walk down for access. Drink and eat all your loot before heading back to the carpark.
