Culburra Beach – South Coast Sea Glass Haven
Nestled on the beautiful South Coast of New South Wales, Culburra Beach is a quiet coastal town known for its relaxed pace, sweeping beaches, and ocean treasures. Just a few hours south of Sydney, this laid-back seaside village offers more than just great surf and fishing—it's also a favorite spot for sea glass hunters looking to discover colorful pieces shaped by time and tide.
The beach itself stretches wide and clean, bordered by rolling dunes and the Crookhaven River on one side. Its mix of ocean currents and rocky outcrops near Penguin Head can sometimes bring in unusual finds, including well-worn bits of green, brown, and the occasional rare blue glass. The best times to search are after storms or early in the morning before the tide comes in.
Culburra’s small-town charm, combined with the natural beauty of nearby Jervis Bay and the Shoalhaven region, makes it a peaceful base for exploring the coastline. Local cafes, friendly markets, and easy access to other beaches like Warrain and Currarong add to the appeal. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just enjoy a quiet beach stroll with the chance of a lucky find, Culburra Beach is worth the trip.
