Jones Beach, Coastal beach in Kiama Downs, Australia.

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.

Jones Beach takes its alternative name, Boyds Beach, from early local usage recorded in the area. The Kiama Downs Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1982 and has patrolled the northern end since. Surfing competitions have been held between February and October, with a one-on-one contest each November.

The Kiama Downs Surf Life Saving Club, founded in 1982, patrols the beach and anchors its northern end beside the dunes and parks. Surfing competitions run from February to October, and a one-on-one contest is held each November.

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.

Six rips cut the single sandbar, and the two permanent rips against the headlands are the strongest, the northern one more so than the southern. Rocks also lie in the surf toward the southern end of the beach.
