Ulladulla

Ulladulla is a coastal town in the Shoalhaven region of New South Wales, Australia. Situated on the south coast along the Princes Highway, it serves as the commercial and service centre for the Ulladulla district and acts as a gateway to nearby beaches, reefs and national parks. The town is closely linked with the adjacent communities of Mollymook and Milton.

The area has been inhabited for thousands of years by Indigenous Australians before European settlement. European exploration increased in the 19th century, and Ulladulla developed as a fishing port and coastal village. The harbour was developed to support local industry and tourism, and the town expanded through the 20th century.

Ulladulla features a natural harbour and a range of beaches, including Ulladulla Beach and nearby Racecourse Beach and Mollymook Beach. The harbour and marina support fishing, crabbing and boating. Tourism, hospitality and small-scale retail are important to the local economy, along with fishing and aquaculture in the region.

The town is accessed chiefly by road via the Princes Highway. Public transport is provided by bus services; the nearest rail link is in Nowra. Ulladulla is part of the City of Shoalhaven local government area, with education facilities including Ulladulla Public School and Ulladulla High School.

Ulladulla experiences a temperate coastal climate with mild, relatively dry summers and cooler winters, moderated by sea breezes. The area receives rainfall year-round and attracts visitors year-round for beaches, whale watching in season, and local events.
