Windang Island, formerly known as Peterborough Island, sits at the entrance to Lake Illawarra and is connected to Warilla Beach by a natural sand formation called a tombolo. This scenic spot is a favourite for exploring the rock platforms, where you can discover marine life like crabs, starfish and an array of seashells. It’s also a popular location for fishing, attracting both locals and visitors keen to cast a line.
