Windang suburb profile

Windang is a compact coastal suburb at the entrance to Lake Illawarra, where the estuary meets the ocean, and its character is defined by water. A busy boat ramp, jetties and foreshore parks make fishing, boating and beachside walks part of everyday life, while housing mixes older weatherboard cottages on quiet streets with newer waterfront homes facing the lake. The area attracts boating enthusiasts, families and retirees who favour a relaxed seaside lifestyle, and local needs are served by a small shopping strip with easy access over the Windang Bridge and the Princes Highway to Wollongong and Shellharbour.
