Gerringong is a laid-back town perched between two dramatic headlands. It’s only a 1.5-2hr drive south of Sydney, or 3hrs from Canberra. As you drive into Gerringong you can see beautiful Werri Beach stretching between the north and south headlands, with rolling green hills to the west. It makes for quite an impressive entry into the township.
Werri Beach is the perfect spot for a swim and is patrolled in the warmer months. It’s also very popular with surfers and paddle-boarders, with breaks at either end of the beach.
There’s plenty to keep you busy in and around Gerringong, when you’re not in the water. Along Fern and Belinda Streets you’ll find restaurants, cafes, shops and boutiques. Insider knowledge is always best though! You’ll find our favourites below.
