Austinmer

Coming over the hill after leaving Coledale, the sight of Austinmer beach with its majestic Norfolk Pines, golden sand and busy cafe strip is a showstopper.
It is one of the more popular beaches north of Wollongong. Back in the 1900s, tourists came by train to visit Austinmer and today it attracts large crowds in summer.
Besides the beautiful beach, children’s playground, picnic and excellent barbeque facilities, the rock pools provide safe swimming for the kids at the south end of the beach.
There is a number of eating options, including the AustiBeach Cafe open seven days for breakfast, lunch, dinner. It’s BYO and also serves fabulous gelati (ph 4268 5680). There is live music every Saturday night.
Moore Street has some interesting shops to browse and a visit to Asquith Street for Juanita’s Studio Gallery (ph 4267 1229) is a must to see fabulous exhibitions of painting, sculpture and ceramics by many talented artists.
And for a little indulgence, give the five-star day spa, Ibah Spa (ph 4267 2865) a call for that well-deserved, luxurious treatment.
All aspects of beauty therapy are offered here in a relaxed and beautiful environment.
