Natural Wonders Beyond the Shore
The Kiama Coast Walk showcases the area’s diverse beauty. This moderately challenging route takes an average of 2 hours and 31 minutes to complete. Hikers often spot native wildlife, including sea eagles and peregrine falcons.
A short drive from Kiama leads to Budderoo National Park, home to the famous Minnamurra Rainforest. Elevated walkways allow visitors to explore the ancient ecosystem’s canopy. The park also features several waterfalls, including Carrington Falls, which plunges 50 metres into the valley below.
Iconic Landmarks: Nature’s Spectacle
The Kiama Blowhole stands as the town’s most famous natural attraction. This impressive geological formation shoots water up to 25 metres high, creating a spectacular display. Visitors flock to witness this phenomenon, especially during southeast swells in the afternoon.
Adjacent to the blowhole, the 19th-century Kiama Lighthouse continues to guide ships along the coast. Visitors can climb to the top for panoramic views of the coastline and Pacific Ocean. Lucky observers might spot migrating whales between May and November (a truly unforgettable sight).
Hinterland Beauty: Beyond the Coast
Kiama’s natural beauty extends inland. Rolling hills dotted with dairy farms and vineyards create a picturesque backdrop to the town. This diverse landscape offers endless opportunities for outdoor activities. Visitors and residents alike enjoy hiking, mountain biking, and wine tasting at local cellar doors.
