Culburra Beach in Shoalhaven is an idyllic retreat for beach and food lovers. Its pristine shores and clear waters provides the perfect backdrop for a range of activities, from surfing to relaxation.
Its highlights include Tilbury Cove, a picturesque stretch of coastline renewed for its excellent swimming and fishing. During peak times, including summer, it is patrolled by lifeguards.
The town offers a thriving seafood scene, with local delicacies such as succulent oysters harvested from nearby estuaries. Culburra is the perfect place for a road trip, just a 2.5 hour drive from Sydney and Canberra.
With terrific swimming, surfing and fishing, you’ll discover your own beachside heaven at Culburra.
Culburra Beach, about 22 kilometres south east of Nowra, is the town’s main attraction with its long sandy stretches.
The stunning waterfront is also at Lake Wollumboola, a coastal lake that intermittently opens to the ocean and is a haven for thousands of migratory and local birds and endangered species such as the green and golden bell frog. The lake has special cultural significance for the Jerrinja people and a picnic area is provided with signs interpreting the importance of the lake.
At Crookhaven Heads, where the Shoalhaven River meets the sea, follow a walking trail to see the historic Crookhaven Heads Lighthouse. Boating, rock fishing and deep-sea charters for marlin and tuna fishing are popular here.
