Enjoy a walk with a view
Need to burn off some energy with the kids? The Kiama Coast Walk is a stunning trek that stretches approximately 20 kilometres from Minnamurra Station (just north of Kiama) to Gerringong in the south, and is suitable for most fitness levels. The walk can be broken into three shorter sections and some parts are suitable for kids’ scooters.
Celebrate the spectacular
Kiss Arts Festival is a seaside celebration of the spectacular, the silly and the sublime! A side-splitting, hand-clapping, wave-splashing, toe-tapping performance feast – where the fringes of Kiama’s Black Beach are transformed for one wondrous weekend into a vibrant village filled with art, heart and the chance to take part.
Event Dates: 22 Apr 2022 — 24 Apr 2022
