All about Kiama
Kiama is a rural coastal town around two hours south of Sydney in New South Wales. Its beaches, blowholes, and rock formations attract both local and international visitors, while the small-town feel makes for a peaceful getaway surrounded by nature, yet within reach of Sydney’s buzzing bars and historic museums. Kiama is also a major road trip pit stop because of its numerous beaches, each with its own character, ranging from soft and sandy Kiama Surf Beach to the more rugged, boulder-strewn Boneyard Beach, both of which are popular with locals in summer. The town also boasts a proud farming tradition, which you’ll see in the use of locally sourced ingredients at restaurants throughout Kiama. And you can delve into the history of this seaside escape with a trip to Kiama Light, the town’s landmark lighthouse, which dates back to 1887.

Located just a 10-minute drive outside of the town, this is a great afternoon excursion for panoramic views. There are multiple lookout points that take in the surrounding landscape and the ocean. It’s also well worth the hike to build up an appetite before returning to town and trying one of the local restaurants.
