What are the best activities for families in Shellharbour?
Have a blast at the famous Kiama Blowhole
Take the kids to the Kiama Blowhole for an exciting day out. The blowhole, close to a grassy cliff by the Kiama lighthouse, creates a giant spray of up to 50 litres when seawater rushes in. Children will love walking on the rocky hills and waiting to be drenched by the spray before swimming in the lovely rock pool nearby, which almost looks like an infinity pool overlooking the Pacific. If the kids want more, take them to famous Bombo Quarry to see its unique rock formations.

Snorkelling and diving at Bushrangers Bay
Bushrangers Bay's shallow waters and rock pools make it one of the Sydney area's best snorkelling spots, and some parts are suitable for children. The bay, which teems with giant cuttlefish, seahorses, soft coral, sea anemone, harmless grey reef sharks, and other tropical creatures, is a great place to learn how to deep-sea dive and obtain PADI certification. Following a swim, follow the Bass Point Indigenous Cultural Walk and learn more about the Aboriginal people who settled here 30,000 years ago.
