From scenic coastal walks to off-leash beaches and dog-friendly cafés, here are our top 10 ways to enjoy a pet-friendly holiday in Kiama.

1. Stay at a Pet-Friendly Kiama Coast Holiday Park

Your adventure starts with the perfect place to stay!

Kiama Coast Holiday Parks offers a range of pet-friendly accommodation and camping options.

Kiama Harbour Cabins

NEW! Selected cabins are now pet friendly (outside NSW school holidays and long weekends). Stay beside the iconic Kiama Blowhole and enjoy harbour walks, ocean views and cafés, all within walking distance.

Werri Beach Holiday Park

Pet-friendly cabins and sites are available, with Werri Beach's off-leash area located directly opposite the park.

Surf Beach Holiday Park

Dogs are welcome on powered and unpowered sites outside NSW school holidays and long weekends.

Kendalls Beach Holiday Park

Pet-friendly powered and unpowered sites provide a peaceful beachfront base just minutes from Kiama township.

Seven Mile Beach Holiday Park

Bring your dog camping beside both Seven Mile Beach and Crooked River, with plenty of space to explore nearby.

2. Let Them Run Free at Werri Beach

One of the region's favourite dog beaches, Werri Beach offers a designated off-leash area where dogs can run, swim and play between sunrise and sunset. Better yet, it's located directly opposite Werri Beach Holiday Park.

3. Explore the Kiama Coast Walk

Stretch your legs along one of Australia's most spectacular coastal walks. Dogs are welcome on lead, allowing you both to enjoy breathtaking ocean views, dramatic cliffs and scenic lookouts along the way.

4. Discover Kiama's Off-Leash Parks

Need somewhere to burn off some energy? Visit one of Kiama's fantastic off-leash reserves including:

• Black Head Reserve, Gerroa
• Bombo Headland
• Kaleula Head Reserve
• Marsden Head
• Minnamurra Headland

Each offers plenty of open space and incredible coastal scenery.

5. Grab Coffee Together

Many cafés throughout Kiama, Gerringong and Gerroa welcome dogs in their outdoor dining areas.

After your morning walk, enjoy breakfast or coffee while your furry friend relaxes beside you.

6. Visit the Iconic Kiama Blowhole

If you're staying at Kiama Harbour Cabins, you're only a short stroll from one of Australia's most famous natural attractions.

Walk around the harbour, soak up the ocean views and enjoy watching the waves crash through the Blowhole.

7. Go Whale Watching Together

Visiting during whale season (May- September)? Bring your dog along to one of Kiama's spectacular coastal lookouts while keeping an eye out for migrating humpback whales. The headlands around Kiama Harbour offer some of the best viewing opportunities on the South Coast.

8. Choose Between the Beach or the River

Staying at Seven Mile Beach Holiday Park means you don't have to choose.

Spend the morning exploring Seven Mile Beach before heading to the peaceful Crooked River for a picnic, paddle or relaxing afternoon beside the water.

9. Enjoy a Picnic by the Coast

Pack lunch, bring the dog and settle in at one of Kiama's many parks and picnic areas overlooking the ocean.

It's one of the simplest (and best) ways to slow down and enjoy the scenery together.

10. Watch the Sunrise or Sunset Together

Some of the best holiday memories are the simplest ones.

Start the day with a sunrise beach walk or finish with a sunset stroll along the coastline. It's the perfect way to unwind after another day exploring everything Kiama has to offer.
