Windang Beach
Windang Beach is the southernmost beach in the Wollongong coastal chain, sitting at the dramatic entrance to Lake Illawarra about 15 kilometres south of Wollongong's city centre. With sweeping views of the Five Islands Nature Reserve offshore, a broad golden shoreline stretching over three and a half kilometres, and a lively foreshore park packed with family amenities, it has become one of the Illawarra's most beloved beach destinations. What sets Windang apart is its dual personality: a proper ocean beach with surf breaks and swells, and a calm lake-side fishing and picnic spot, all in the same place. Whether you're after a dawn surf session, a family day with barbecues and playgrounds, or casting lines for bream at the lake entrance, Windang delivers.
