About Werri Beach
Werri Beach is a small coastal locality in the Kiama area of New South Wales, located approximately 100 kilometres south of Sydney along the Illawarra coast. Covering just half a square kilometre, it sits adjacent to Gerringong and overlooks a surf beach on the Pacific Ocean, with a resident population of around 510 people. The area falls within the Shoalhaven–Kiama coastal corridor, known for its dramatic clifftop scenery and uncrowded beaches.
The suburb has a relaxed beachside character, attracting surfers, coastal walkers, and those seeking a quiet seaside lifestyle away from city crowds. Werri Beach itself is a popular surf spot with beautiful ocean views, and the nearby Gerringong town centre provides cafés, shops, and essential services. Residents tend to be a mix of long-term locals, retirees, and sea-changers drawn to the area's natural beauty and slower pace of life.
Werri Beach falls under postcode 2534 and is governed by the Kiama Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Gilmore, while state elections fall under the Kiama electorate.
