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.
