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.
