Jones Beach

Jones Beach stretches between Minnamurra Headland and Cathedral Rocks, offering a wide sandy shore with two distinct sections. The northern and southern parts have different wave patterns and wind protection, creating varied conditions for swimmers and surfers.

Indigenous communities used this coastal area for generations before European settlement brought modern beach facilities. The site represents how the coast changed through human use over time.

Surf schools teach people of all levels here throughout the year, keeping Australian wave-riding traditions alive. This activity shapes how locals and visitors experience the beach day by day.

Access to the beach is from North Kiama Drive, with parking areas and public restrooms nearby. Check local conditions before swimming and watch for lifeguard presence, especially if you are unfamiliar with the area.

The northern section has a special feature: waves that run from left to right along the rocks. This creates unusual conditions that attract surfers looking for specific wave patterns.
