Easts Beach, Kiama: Overview

Easts Beach is the southernmost beach in Kiama. Located immediately south of Kendalls Beach, and bound by 50 metre high headlands, Easts Beach is around 350 metres long. On this relatively small pocket beach, you’ll find mesmerising golden sand, a turquoise-coloured ocean and superb coastal views from either of the beach’s headlands. It’s no wonder this beach is a local favourite but also a popular place for holidaymakers.

As mentioned, the beach is backed by BIG4 Easts Beach Holiday Park, which occupies the valley and the lower parts of the southern slopes behind the beach. Interestingly, the beach is named after the holiday park, which claims to be Australia’s oldest caravan park. It’s been running for over 85 years! But, rest assured, the accommodation, facilities and amenities at the holiday park are modern with that superb rustic beach vibe. All in all, BIG4 Easts Beach Holiday Park is one of the most popular holiday parks in Kiama, let alone NSW.

Now you know a little more about the beach and its holiday park, let’s look at exactly where it’s located.

What to Do at Easts Beach

It’s no surprise that one of the best things to do at Easts Beach is to go for a swim. Unlike Kiama Surf Beach, Easts Beach enjoys calmer waters and gentler waves, which are usually void of rips. During the summer holidays, the beach is patrolled daily from 10am to 5:30pm. So, even if there are unusually rough waves or rips, the lifeguards are there to help keep you safe in the water.

When it comes to swimming, there are a couple of other options too. At the southern end of the beach, you’ll find Munna Munnora Creek, which is a good spot for kids to splash around. And, of course, if you’re staying at BIG4 Easts Beach Holiday Park, there are three swimming pools and a water park on-site.

Given the usual tranquillity of the ocean at the beach, it isn’t the best place for surfing. But, Easts Beach is a decent place for fishing in Kiama. On a good day, it’s possible to catch sand whiting and river blackfish.

And, if you’re looking to stretch your legs, there are nearby natural attractions to see. Within short walking distance from the beach, you can see the Little Blowhole and the Bonaira Native Gardens. Beck and I thoroughly enjoyed the blowhole spectacle at the Little Blowhole and thought the native gardens were a great hidden gem in Kiama.

Undoubtedly, when you visit the beach, you’ll notice BIG4 Easts Beach Holiday Park, which wholeheartedly encircles the beach. It’s certainly one of the main features of the area. Perhaps, to enjoy the beach, and all of its surrounds, you may just have to stay at the beachfront accommodation. With this said, let’s look at the holiday park in a bit more detail.

BIG4 Easts Beach Holiday Park

BIG4 Easts Beach Holiday Park is a huge 35 acre park beautifully positioned between the beach and the mountains of Kiama Heights and Saddleback Mountain. The family-owned holiday park enjoys a truly wondrous natural setting while featuring its own lush green grass and gardens. It’s no coincidence, that this holiday park is one of the most popular in Kiama and often books out well in advance.

One of the reasons why BIG4 Easts Beach Holiday Park is popular is because of its varied accommodation.

But, it also offers ensuite and powered sites for caravans and campers, creating some of the best camping in Kiama.

Below, we’ll look at the self-contained apartments, and then the caravan sites, in more detail.

FYI – given the popularity of the holiday park in the area, it’s often simply referred to as BIG4 Kiama. It’s also known as Easts Beach Caravan Park.

How to Get to Easts Beach in Kiama

The easiest and quickest way to get to Easts Beach in Kiama is to drive. Albeit, the most convenient parking is by the beach in the BIG4 Easts Beach Holiday Park. But, only guests can use the parking at the holiday park. If you’re not staying at the holiday park, public access is possible by parking on Ocean Street, Marsden Street or Tingira Crescent. You’ll then have to do a short walk down to the beach.

If you don’t have a car, we recommend hiring one for your trip to Kiama.

Car Hire

DiscoverCars.com

If you don’t have your own car, you should hire one using Discover Cars. Personally, we use Discover Cars and highly recommend them for finding your ideal car hire at an affordable price. Booking online is super easy and the free cancellation policy is great.

To find out more about renting a car with Discover Cars, read our Discover Cars review and Discover Cars Insurance review.

Although it’s less convenient, it’s also possible to use public transport to get to Easts Beach in Kiama. From Sydney, simply jump on a train to Kiama Station. From Kiama Station, it’s around a 3km walk to the beach, which could take up to 40 minutes. So, it’s best to get a bus from Kiama Station to Easts Beach. Use the Transport NSW Trip Planner or app to help plan your journey.

Kiama Coast Walk

Another way to get to this beach is by doing the incredible Kiama Coastal Walk. By doing the approx. 21.5km walk, you won’t have loads of time to spend at the beach. But, nothing is stopping you from going for a quick dip at the beach during the walk. Personally, during the walk, Beck and I simply enjoyed walking along the beach. Then, under the shade of a tree at the southern end of the beach, we enjoyed lunch.

Overall, Beck and I agreed that walking along the beach’s respective headlands was one of the highlights of the entire coastal walk. From either headland, you’ll enjoy superb views of the beach. Perhaps, doing the Kiama Coastal Walk is one of the unique ways to experience the beauty of Easts Beach.

Facilities

Overall, Easts Beach doesn’t technically have much in the way of facilities for the public. Sure, BIG4 Easts Beach Holiday Park has excellent facilities and amenities that allow guests a comfortable visit to the beach. After all, the cabins and amenities block are right on the beach. Sure, technically speaking, the amenities block is for guests. But, of course, the public often uses the amenities block.

The beach is patrolled during summer school holidays, usually between 18 December to 30 January, which is accessible to all.

Accessibility

Despite Kiama’s championing as an inclusive tourism destination, there aren’t any facilities for those with mobility impairments at Easts Beach. For improved accessibility at a beach in Kiama, we recommend heading to Kendalls Beach or Surf Beach, where there are wheelchair-accessible amenities.
