“Shifting peaks both Left and Right breaking on sand-covered reef and is great in a 4 to 6 ft NE - SE swell. One of my go to beaches. Has shower and toilet facilities with plenty of parking. Also has Towradgi Bowlo close by to get something to eat. This beach is patrolled in the Summer period.”

“considered the illawarra's premier seafood restaurant, indulge in a gastronomic seafood experience while basking in the panoramic beach view of Wollongong's harbour ”

“I better recommend something on the beach. This is right on North Beach. The food is very good. It is, of course, very popular so you might have to wait. I don't think they take bookings, at least not for small parties. Mind you, there are other options very close by and you will find them easily enough. For instance, I like The Health Hut opposite The Novotel but it doesn't have the views. North Beach is a lovely beach by the way. Further up the lovely walkway towards the Harbour, and more eateries, is a much safer swimming spot for little ones. There is also an ocean pool and a small, covered pool for toddlers. ”
