Glasshouse Rocks
Folded rock formations at the southern end of Narooma's surf beach, a colourful geological wonder best visited at low tide.
Glasshouse Rocks lies at the southern end of Narooma Surf Beach. Roughly 450 million years ago, deep-sea sediments and chert were squeezed and uplifted into dramatic folds. Red, grey and white bands stack up in layers that look like a tilted glasshouse, making it one of the South Coast's best-known geological sights. From the surf beach car park, it is about a 15-minute walk south along the sand. You must visit at low tide, as the path is submerged when the tide comes in. The rocks are slippery, so watch your footing and keep an eye on the waves.
