Activities in Greenwell Point
Go for a paddle
If kayaking make sure you go with the tide, paddling against is often impossible, especially during king tides (Christmas and Easter). Kayaks can be hired from Nowra Kayak Hire, Culburra Beach Surf Scool and Hire
There are some beautiful scenic loops that take advantage of the Comerong Island canals. If you’re interested, e-mail us and we can send you a map.
The BBQs & picnic areas across the road
Stainless steel BBQs and picnic areas provided by Shoalhaven Council.
Alternatively you can use the electric BBQ on your deck
Fish off the shore, pontoons or jetties
Shoalhaven City Council have built amazing, landscaped and wheelchair accessible walkways and pontoons right along the foreshore. Just sensational!!
The Park Across the Road
Sit back, watch the kids having fun, smile and enjoy.
The BBQs and picnic tables adjoin the children’s play park, so why not make a day / evening of it?
Take your boat out
Use the fabulous new boat ramp to access the Tasman Sea via the Crookhaven Bar safely, or just potter around in the more protected river systems. Boat hire is available from Shoalhaven Boat Hire (located behind South Coast Retreat)
The little beach down the road
Good for kids, picnics and lazing around – about 500m to the left of South Coast Retreat, after the mangroves.
Remember the tide can run very quickly so keep a close eye on swimmers.
Tennis
Greenwell Point tennis court was built in 1977. It has been maintained fairly regularly by the community and council’s Management Committee. It is available for hourly hire day and night and the net is left up so you can just start playing!
