Tucked between rocky headlands on the Kiama coast, Little Bay Beach is a sheltered pocket of golden sand protected from coastal swells, creating ideal conditions for snorkeling. The calm, clear waters and rocky ledges host a variety of fish and marine life, while a man-made rockpool adds family appeal. This unpatrolled beach feels wonderfully secluded yet is close to Kiama's town centre, offering a peaceful escape for underwater exploration.
