Narooma Beach

Narooma Beach is a wide sandy shore near the town of Narooma on the southern coast. The bay is framed by Montague Island and the distinctive Glasshouse Rocks, offering a gentle slope into the water with shallow areas suitable for swimming.

This location has been an important fishing spot for the community across many generations. The beach's significance as both a resource for fishing and later as a place for leisure has shaped how locals continue to use and value it today.

The beach serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors share meals, build sandcastles, and spend time together by the water. You notice families using the space naturally as part of their daily outdoor life and social routines.

The beach is centrally located and easy to reach, with paths for people with mobility needs and a playground behind the sand. Nearby cafes and shops offer drinks and snacks, and the Narooma Surf Life Saving Club patrols during summer months to assist swimmers.

Rock formations called Glasshouse Rocks display columnar basalt along the shore, a rare geological feature that gives the beach its distinctive look. Visitors can also watch seals and pelicans resting on the rocks or gathering as fishing boats return.
