Held the third Sunday of every month (and the occasional public holiday), the markets are a great shopping experience for the whole family, right in the heart of Kiama – definitely worth a visit!

Take a dip in one of Kiama's natural rock pools. The Blowhole Point Rock Pool is a favorite spot for families, offering a fun and safe way to swim while surrounded by ocean views.
