About Cunjurong Point

Cunjurong Point is a coastal locality in the Shoalhaven region of New South Wales, situated within the 2539 postcode. Geographically, it is positioned on the south coast of NSW, bounded by Green Island to the north and the mouth of Lake Conjola to the south. The area features a mix of coastal headlands, sandy beaches, and native bushland. Demographically, it is a small, quiet residential and holiday community characterized by a low permanent population that swells significantly during peak holiday periods with visitors utilizing holiday homes and short-term accommodations.

Local life in Cunjurong Point revolves around coastal recreation, including surfing, fishing, swimming, and bushwalking. Due to its small permanent population, the locality has limited commercial amenities, relying primarily on neighboring communities such as Manyana and Lake Conjola for everyday services, schools, and shopping. The surrounding environment provides access to Conjola National Park, making natural conservation and outdoor leisure central to the lifestyle of residents and visitors alike.

Historically, the area was traditional land for the Indigenous Yuin people, who utilized the coastal resources for sustenance and cultural practices. European settlement in the wider Shoalhaven region initially focused on timber-getting, fishing, and maritime trade before the coastal stretches gradually transitioned into popular recreational and residential destinations during the twentieth century.
