Ulladulla

Seafood & watersports

Ulladulla has been an important fishing port since 1859. Enjoy fresh seafood from local restaurants and fish shops by the harbour, home to the monthly Ulladulla Wharf Markets. Watersports such as fishing, swimming, stand-up paddleboarding and surfing are big drawcards. There’s also a number of reef dive sites around the area.

Walking tracks

Visit South Pacific Heathland Reserve to spot whales migrating along the NSW South Coast. A scenic drive west is Pigeon House Mountain Didthul walking track in Morton National Park, which offers panoramic views of the area. A short drive south is Pot Holes walking track in Meroo National Park.

Another top walking track is the Coomee Nulunga Cultural Trail, which begins near Warden Head Lighthouse and winds its way to Rennies Beach, a southeast-facing surfing spot. Join a local Aboriginal guide for a tour of the trail. You can also immerse yourself in Indigenous culture with Nura Gunyu.
