Fairy Meadow Beach

Fairy Meadow Beach is a wonderful escape with magnificent views overlooking the ocean and the city of Wollongong.

It is a popular spot for those seeking a break from the city. Located three kilometers north of Wollongong central business district, the beach is conveniently close to University accommodation in Fairy Meadow and the Wollongong Surf Leisure Resort.

At Fairy Meadow Beach, visitors can enjoy a serene environment and relax while listening to the gentle sound of waves crashing on the shoreline. The golden sand and blue waves make it an ideal place for activities such as surfing, swimming, sunbathing, and taking a stroll along the shoreline.

It is important to note that Fairy Meadow Beach is only patrolled during the New South Wales (NSW) school holidays, from September to the end of April. Visitors should exercise caution during off-peak times if swimming when the beach is not patrolled. Getting to Fairy Meadow Beach is convenient, with several buses and trains available for visitors coming from Wollongong or nearby cities. If driving, Memorial Drive towards Fairy Meadow and turning left onto Elliotts Road will lead to the beach in just a few minutes.

For dog owners, the beach south of the play equipment is an off-lead dog beach. This makes Fairy Meadow Beach a great place to take your furry friend for a walk and play on the sand. It is important to ensure that your dog is well-behaved and that you clean up after them.
