The Minnamurra River and headland offer spectacular views of the ocean, the iconic Stack Island and the surrounding coastline. Visitors can enjoy a relaxing picnic, explore the scenic Kiama Coast Walk, or try paddleboarding and swimming in the beautiful river.
Cycling is another great way to experience the area's natural beauty and spot local wildlife. From late May to July, humpback whales migrate north, returning south with their calves between September and November, making this a wonderful spot for whale watching.
The sparkling turquoise waters of Minnamurra River provide the perfect conditions for a day of kayaking, swimming, or paddle boarding. Take some time to enjoy the vibrant grassy hills and relax with a picnic after a long day on the water.
The entrance of the river is characterised by an offshore island, named Rangoon Island, after an 1870 shipwreck just offshore.
Rangoon Island, also known as Stack Island, was named after the shipwreck of the 'Rangoon' in 1870.
Located north of Kiama at the mouth of the Minnamurra River, the island is known for its striking basalt rock formations and spectacular coastal scenery.
Home to scores of local seabirds, it is best viewed from the cliffs of Minnamurra Headland which is part of the scenic Kiama Coast Walk.
Kiama's glorious Saddleback Mountain offers a photographer's dream, with the elevated Saddleback Mountain Lookout.
On a clear day, take in the breathtaking views from Cronulla in the north to Milton in the south. While the north-facing viewing platform (off main car park) is excellent, be sure to checkout the recently opened southern platform further up from the main car park.
Located just 10 minutes from Kiama's Blowhole, Saddleback Mountain Lookout is one of the area's greatest natural attractions.
