Great little out of the way beach with bbq, shaded picnic tables, toilets and swings. The river outlet allows for easy playing for little kids.

Beautiful golden sandy beach. Excellent surf if the swell is right, and have caught a lot of decent fish in the many gutters along its shore. Making up a part of the spectacular scenery that has locals and tourists alike marvelling at its beauty.

Kianga Beach is a gorgeous seaside village on the far south coast of NSW. Famous for it's fishing & Great surf beaches for all levels of expertise ! Heaps of activities for the kids ,take a walk out to Australia rock where you'll no doubt see some seals lazing on the rocks . Be sure to check out Antons café for a great coffee, dinner or lunch etc. An abundance of accommodation options from basic camping to 5 star boutique apartments. Love this place .
