 | | The city is based on heavy industry but still has a thriving tourism business as it lies between the rugged Illawarra coast with beautiful beaches, a favorite for fishermen, surfers and windsurfers as well as the Illawarra Escarpment with fantastic hills and forests, a great place for bushwalkers, rock-climbers and hang-gliders. |
 | | To the north Lake Illawarra, surrounded by a 25km cycleway, provides a haven for waterskiing, sailboarding, canoeing, paddleboating, fishing, and prawning. |
 | | The Marine Aquatic Reserve at Bushrangers Bay just south of the township is a favoured spot for snorkelers and scuba divers and the magnificent rainforest at Maquarie National Park is a main attraction. |
