About Shellharbour

Welcome to Shellharbour!

Coastal bliss. Family time. Adventure

Remember those unspoilt holiday places you visited as a child?

You don’t need to travel back in time to experience that again. Just come and visit Shellharbour.

Imagine pristine beaches without the high-rise and crowds, glorious restaurants and buzzing cafes, and plenty to do or space to do nothing at all. That’s Shellharbour.

You’ll find us just over an hour’s easy drive south of Sydney, and within three hours drive from Canberra.

Shellharbour is framed between the sparkling waters of the Tasman Sea and the magnificent Illawarra Escarpment, with Lake Illawarra to the north and the Minnamurra River to the south.

Those elements of natural beauty also provide boundless opportunities for relaxing and exploring, whether you’re seeking a seaside or rainforest escape, an adventure experience or a great value family holiday.

Add to that terrific shopping and plenty of options for dining and accommodation, and you’ve got yourself the perfect holiday destination.

Visit for a day trip, or stay with us for a while. Either way, we’re confident you’ll want to come back to Shellharbour.
