About

Nestled beneath the spectacular Illawarra escarpment along the iconic Grand Pacific Drive, Stanwell Park Beach is one of the region’s most picturesque family destinations. The beachfront playground sits within a large grassy reserve, offering plenty of space for kids to run, kick a ball, or simply enjoy the outdoors. Pack a picnic or make use of the free barbecue facilities while taking in the stunning coastal views. With the beach just steps away, it’s an easy place to spend an entire morning or afternoon. Located around 26 km north of Wollongong CBD, Stanwell Park is also dog-friendly, with time-share dog access across most of the beach and a designated off-leash area, making it a great option for the whole family—including four-legged friends.
