Truly an area like no other, the unusual basalt columns of Bombo Headland make it feel as though you're walking on the moon.
These rock formations are a product of the region's rich mining history and blue metal quarrying in the 1880s and 1900s, along with centuries of exposure to the powerful ocean forces.
The area is often featured in television commercials and photo shoots, and is the perfect place to test out your photography skills - especially at sunrise.
This place is absolutely incredible. The rock formations are some of the coolest I’ve ever seen.
If you enjoy photography , you’ll be in heaven. Toilets , picnic tables in the carpark area, walking path to follow around the headland. I would recommend going on a cooler day as it is quite open with no shade , but totally worth it.
Also dog friendly.

Fun walk through an old quarry with very unique rock formations. Lots of parking and washrooms.

Bombo Headland is a breathtaking coastal location near Kiama, known for its dramatic basalt rock formations and rich geological history. The unique landscape, shaped by ancient volcanic activity and past quarrying, resembles something from another planet. It’s a popular spot for photographers, especially during sunrise and sunset, when the light enhances the surreal beauty of the rock columns and crashing waves. Easily accessible with nearby parking, it’s a great place for a short walk, sightseeing, or simply soaking in the power of nature. A must-visit on the NSW South Coast!

Occasionally I found this place from the map for a random family weekend and then was impressed by the natural wonders: thunder powerful waves, magical rocks, and enormous geological features. All are stunning and amazing. All of us feel that we are lucky to find this place and be aware the great place is so close to us!

Very beautiful area. Can be accessed after a short walk from the carpark. Be careful not to get too close as people have drowned after being swept off the rocks in the past.
