The Kiama Blowhole is one of the South Coast’s best-known natural attractions. When the swell is up, seawater shoots through a gap in the rocks and can spray more than 30 metres into the air. An easy coastal loop of about 2.7 km connects the blowhole with Kiama Lighthouse (built in 1887), the harbour and the fish and chip shops along the waterfront. The area has viewing platforms, public toilets, picnic areas, a kiosk and a visitor centre. It’s best visited when there’s a south-east swell running.
