Kiama is one of the South Coast’s most charming seaside towns, shaped by rugged headlands, bright blue water, and a relaxed coastal atmosphere. The Kiama Blowhole is the big draw — a natural rock formation that sends plumes of water high into the air when the swell is right. Nearby, the lighthouse stands above the cliffs, adding to the classic coastal feel.

Just north of town, Bombo Quarry offers one of the most striking geological landscapes on the coast. The tall basalt columns and dramatic rock platforms make it feel almost otherworldly, especially at sunrise when the light hits the stone walls. It’s a favourite spot for photographers and anyone who loves raw, rugged scenery.

To the south, Kiama’s Little Blowhole often outperforms its larger sibling, blasting with impressive force on a good swell. The coastal walk connecting Kiama to Gerringong is another highlight, following clifftops, beaches, and rolling grassy headlands with constant ocean views.

The town centre itself is easygoing and welcoming, with cafés, ocean pools, and plenty of shady spots to sit and take in the scenery. Whether you’re exploring the rock platforms, walking the coastline, or stopping for a swim at one of the nearby beaches, Kiama always delivers something memorable.
