The beaches of the Illawarra are one of its most beautiful features. They have long been a place of recreation for local residents and visitors. This exhibition celebrates the enjoyment of the surf, sun and sand and includes pictures of surf life saving activities, children playing, family picnics and beach wear from neck to knee costumes to bikinis. 

 You can see the ‘Sun, Surf & Sand’ exhibition on display from December 2023 at Wollongong Library.
