Shellharbour Beach
- Family friendly
Shellharbour Beach is an east-facing sandy ocean beach near Shellharbour Village. Its shoreline gets some shelter from southerly winds, while remaining open to swell from several directions, so conditions can vary. Access from Junction Road is supported by parking, outdoor showers and public toilets, with a playground and beach wheelchair available nearby. Seasonal patrols add visitor support during the beach season, but swimmers should still check local conditions and signage before entering the water.
