Also, in town is the The Little Snapper, which is open for breakfast and lunch over the weekend and in the evenings Wed-Sat, and Loco Lane open for early dinners. Further afield, there is The Butter Factory at Jindyandy Mill at Pyree, and Zac’s Place for fish and chips at Currarong.

Fresh South Coast Oysters

A trip to the oyster growers at Greenwell Point is a must for seafood lovers (we can recommend Jim Wild’s Oysters)

Surfing

Culburra boasts the two closest surf beaches to Nowra: Culburra Beach and  Warrain Beach, where the Nowra Surf Lifesaving Club is located. The beaches are patrolled during the summer holiday period and provide a variety of surf conditions for board riders, swimmers, body surfers and families with young children.

Lake Woolumboola

Popular for a number of recreational activities depending on the water level. When the water level is high, sailing, windsurfing and water skiing are popular. Lower water levels attract a wide variety of bird life. Walks around the lake foreshore from either direction are popular. 

Golf

Your nearest golf course is Callala Bay RSL & Golf Club just 15 minutes drive from Culburra. A Putt Putt Driving range is located on Greenwell Pt Rd.

Fishing

Excellent catches of fish are regularly reported from the rocks near the river entrance. The regional boat ramp located at Crookhaven Heads provides safe launching facilities to the Crookhaven and Shoalhaven Rivers and ‘The Banks’ famous for its marlin, tuna and game fish. The Orient Point boat ramp also provides river access for small craft.

Picnics

Picnic areas are located at a number of areas adjacent to the beaches including Tilbury Cove and Crookhaven Heads. Additional picnic areas can be found on the shores of Lake Woolumboola near its entrance and at the lake Woolumboola boat ramp.

Scuba Diving

Use the Crookhaven Heads boat ramp to access ‘The banks’ (for experienced divers) and other dive sites around the Beecroft Peninsula including Lobster Bay, the wreck SS Merimbula and SS Wandra.

Bands perform at the clubs most weekends.
