In the right tide and surf conditions, especially with a south-easterly wind, the blowhole sprays water up to 30 meters in the air. Probably the most visited attraction in Kiama, sunny weekends see lots of people eagerly awaiting each spout.
The Kiama Blowhole is a blowhole in the town of Kiama, New South Wales, Australia. The name 'Kiama' has long been translated as "where the sea makes a noise". It is one of the town's major tourist attractions. Under certain sea conditions, the blowhole can spray 50 litres of water up to 25 metres (82 ft) in the air, in quantities that thoroughly drench any bystanders. There is a second, less famous blowhole in Kiama, commonly referred to as the "Little Blowhole" by locals. It is much smaller than the other, but due to its narrow shape, it is more reliable than the Big Blowhole, and in the right conditions can be equally spectacular.

Mystics Beach
At the outlet of the Minnamurra River, the beach here ends in a picturesque long sand spit jutting out towards Stack Island and is a popular spot for kayaking and stand-up paddling. The ocean side has strong waves and can be dangerous, while the river side is shallow but can have tidal currents. You can park either on the Minnamurra village side by the river, or take a 20-min detour through Shell Cove to park at the far north end of the beach.
A winding scenic drive through dairy country gets you to the top of Saddleback Mountain, with panoramic views of the surrounding foothills.
