📖 About Austinmer Boatharbour

Austinmer Boatharbour is a compact, sheltered harbour and tidal rock pool area tucked along the rugged Illawarra coastline, just south of Austinmer between Thirroul and Coledale. Natural rock platforms form calm, protected pools perfect for swimming and snorkelling, attracting locals who come to explore the diverse marine life in the clear waters. The dramatic backdrop of the Illawarra Escarpment rising steeply from the coast makes this a strikingly scenic spot beloved by photographers and picnickers alike.
