Wollongong & Surrounds
Must do
There are plenty of opportunities for adventure activities in and around Wollongong ranging from surfing and swimming to sailing, hang gliding, paragliding, cycling and abseiling. Wollongong is the only place in NSW where you can sky dive onto the beach.
Wollongong Area
Wollongong, the State’s third largest city, has, in recent years, reinvented itself as a great weekend escape.
The Illawarra as a whole is made for outdoor adventures. The small coastal villages around Wollongong, such as Stanwell Park, Bulli and Dapto, boast excellent surfing beaches, and Lake Illawarra offers a choice of sailing, waterskiing, canoeing and fishing.
The area is also shaping up as a fine food and wine destination, with talented chefs serving great local produce and premium wines.
