Food Scene
Gerringong Cafe & Deli
133 Fern StThe coffee and yummy food is the best in town.
Really good quality food. It's always busy so best to book a table. They often have 2 sittings. 6pm and 7.30pm. My favourite dish are the chicken and prawn pancake entrees. That might be all you need to eat! My goal is to work through the entire menu visit by visit! Excellent vietnamese.

I used to live here. If you like walking, This beautiful often deserted beach will restore your sanity in minutes. Park by the bridge and walk over the estuary. Bring your camera. Very pretty!

Bit touristy but if there swell is up its great fun. Just as good is Little BlowHole. Google map it. Just a 5 min drive away and then walk up to Little Earth hipster cafe just up the street. It a 30-40 min walk between the two walking around the headlands.

Parks & Nature
If you want to see the rainforest and the waterfall at the end without a long walk, it is certainly worth visiting. Has a boardwalk for people with less mobility or in wheelchairs. Cafe at the visitor centre or go to Jamberoo pub on the way back.

It is a lot busier than it used to be but certainly worth the 30-45 min walk up. Amazing views from Gerringong to Jervis Bay. Sit on the rocks weathered naturally like little tables and chairs.

Good surfing beach. All the locals go every morning early. Very rippy for swimming tough. More like a spa bath if you know what you are doing and stay close to shore. Great walk from the southern end where rock pool swimmers gather to the lagoon at the far end. There are outdoor council exercise machines along the way. Take a friend. About an hour walking to and from and then finish off with a coffee or light breakfast at the Gerringong Surf club where you started. Cafe opens 6.30am . Easy parking.
Another tip. If you like doggies walk from the southern end up over the headland for awesome views. Potter through the cemetery down to Boat Harbour rock pool for a swim.

Check the tides if Werri lagoon is open to the sea else you'll get your feet wet to start. Its a 90 min walk one way with glorious vistas or green rolling hills, basalt rocks and ocean. Even better in whale watching season. Take a picnic or at least water. Great for families.
