πŸ“– About Coledale Beach

Coledale Beach is a compact surf beach in the Illawarra region, nestled in a steep coastal valley about 20 km north of Wollongong. It is best known for its beloved ocean rock pool at the southern end β€” a 50-metre lap pool carved into the rock platform that is a favourite among swimmers at sunrise. The beach itself offers a classic NSW point break and attracts a tight-knit local surf community.
