North end Jones Beach rain threatening and blowing a gale
North end Jones Beach rain threatening and blowing a gale
Through darkness we learn to appreciate light.
Just past Cathedral Rocks, on the awesome walk from Minnamurra to Kiama, there is a little detour from the walk along a rocky beach.
This location has been on my bucket list for quite a long time. It's readily accessed by a short walk along Jones Beach.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (112 reviews)

Although the owner has made an effort to make ...

The room was extremely basic. Not only did it not have a couch to sit on, it didn’t even have a single couch seat. And although I paid extra for a room with a lake view or partial lake view, I can’t remember which, you could only see a bit of the water if you stood in a particular spot in the room ...
