Bombo Beach

A legendary South Coast spot where golden sand, basalt column geology and a full dog-friendly experience come together. Bombo Beach itself features a designated off-leash zone in the middle of the sand (see Kiama Council's official off-leash map below) and dramatic views south towards Kiama Blowhole Point.

Directly linked via a short headland walk from the northern end of the beach is **Bombo Beach Headland Dog Park** — the Illawarra region's only off-leash dog agility park, with pole weave, tyre jump and open grassed agility equipment on a sprawling unfenced coastal headland. Wander 5–10 minutes along the beach access track or the grassy path behind the sand dunes and you can combine a beach swim, a headland agility play session and a basalt column coastal walk all in one trip — it feels like three dog parks in one visit.

Headland dogs must remain **on-leash when travelling to and from the off-leash area**, and are strictly prohibited from Spring Creek Lagoon and the rock platform at all times. Bring your own water for the headland agility zone (no tap on-site), and keep dogs well back from the unfenced cliff edges on windy days. Full official details for both zones: Bombo Beach off-leash area https://www.kiama.nsw.gov.au/Services/Animals/Dog-off-leash-areas/Bombo-Beach-off-leash-area and Bombo Headland off-leash + agility park https://www.kiama.nsw.gov.au/Services/Animals/Dog-off-leash-areas/Bombo-Headland-off-leash-and-dog-agility-park.

Tips
Combine the beach + headland in one visit: park at 42 Cliff Drive for the Headland Agility Park, walk the basalt column track 5 mins down to the Bombo Beach off-leash sand zone, then loop back via the dune path. Headland agility gear is near the car park end — keep dogs well back from unfenced cliff edges on the ocean side. Spring Creek Lagoon and the rock platform are prohibited at all times. Bring your own water (no tap at the agility park).
