Stanwell Park is a coastal village in the northern suburb of Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia. It is the northernmost point of the Illawarra coastal strip and lies only 5 minutes to the southern entry to Sydney's famous Royal National Park. If you enjoy hiking there's no shortage of spectacular walks in the Royal or one of many local walks within minutes of Stanwell Park. The seaside village of Stanwell Park is a hidden gem right in your own backyard with a variety of cafes and a Thai Restaurant. Home to stunning headlands and immaculate waterfront reserves, Stanwell Park is renowned for its picturesque scenery. Whether it's spending a day relaxing at Stanwell Park Beach, taking a walk in the local area or hiking in the Royal National Park. If you head south theres the famous Sea Cliff Bridge, another one of my favourite things to do in summer is swim in one of the many sea pools dotted along the coast there’s Coalcliff, Wombarra, Coledale, Austinmer, Thirroul & beyond you could visit Kellys Falls at Stanwell Tops there's plenty to do in and around the area. Drive or walk up to Bald Hill and enjoy the views and watch the Paragliders / Hanggliders take flight grab an icecream while you’re there. Just 10 mins towards Helensburgh is Symbio Wildlife Park a great day out for the family. There's no shortage of unforgettable experiences to choose from during your stay in this relaxed coastal town.
