Mollymook


A surfing, retirement and holiday destination to the north of Ulladulla. Within easy driving distance of Canberra and Sydney, Mollymook is popular with many people from those cities as the ideal escape location any time of the year.

Where is it?: South Coast. Mollymook is 225 km south of Sydney via the Princes Highway.

Mollymook is located only minutes from the harbour port of Ulladulla and historic rural Milton. These three areas complement each other with their own special features and ambience. The surrounding districts offer an abundance of nature's delights with spectacular scenery, forested mountains and myriad fascinating waterways. Mollymook is best known for its excellent surf beach of sweeping clean sands and clear waters and its neighbouring lush green golf course.

Lookouts: Barristers Point, beyond the northern end of Mollymook Beach, has a lookout offering views of the surrounding seascape.

Things To See and Do

Just north of Mollymook are the calm, shallow waters, mangroves and mudflats of the inlet to Narrawallee Creek which is an ideal spot for children. The inlet lies at the southern end of Narrawallee Creek Nature Reserve which stretches north for 5 km along Buckleys and Conjola Beaches. Largely undisturbed these beaches are good spots for fishing and surfing and are backed by a dune system adjoined by woodland through which there is a circular walking track.

Surrrounding area

The national parks of the region protect a number of wilderness areas that are incredably close to two of Australia's larger cities. Morton, Budawang, Deua and Wadbilliga National Parks, part of the Great Dividing Range to the region's west, contain some of the most stunningly picturesque rugged mountain scenery in the country. Containing a variety of terrain from volcanic peaks to flat plateaux dissected by steep gorges, their hidden valleys hold rainforests, and heaths that fill with wildflowers in spring. These parks are a bushwalker's paradise.


Jervis Bay (53 km north east): a 16 km long sheltered inlet, Jervis Bay is an expansive coastal bay area surrounded by charming seaside villages and towns, with white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. Bounded by Jervis Bay Marine Park and national parks, the bay has outstanding snorkeling and scuba diving conditions. Jervis Bay offers some of the best whale watching experiences in Australia. Jervis Bay is fortunately placed so, that the migration, both north and south can be observed as they pass the entrance to Jervis Bay. Seals and dolphins are regular visitors year round.




Ulladulla (2 km south): Mollymook's sister town is a substantial coastal locality which services the agricultural hinterland (dairy, timber, honey), a fishing fleet, retirement and tourist activities of the Ulladulla region. The villages of Milton, Mollymook, Burrill Lake and Bawley Point are part of that region.


Sussex Inlet (45 km north): a popular holiday destination to the south of Jervis Bay, and the main town on St Georges Basin. The basin is a shallow lagoon with a tree-covered shoreline. The inlet is the narrow, attractive winding stretch of water that connects the Tasman Sea to St Georges Basin.


Murramarang National Park (55 km south) boasts forests of spotted gums which grow on steep slopes right down to the sea. They are one of the great beauties of the park, their pale, mottled trunks in stark contrast to the dark green understorey of burrawangs. The dramatic coast features cliffs and headlands, rock platforms, hidden sea caves, and sand and shingle beaches. Kangaroos are often seen grazing on Pebbly Beach.
