Holiday makers and local's alike enjoy this beach. A small lagoon proves popular with children for shallow paddling. Corrimal is located six kilometres north of Wollongong's central business district.

Corrimal Beach is only patrolled from the commencement of the NSW school holidays in September to the end of the NSW April school holidays. North Wollongong Beach is the only beach in the area that is patrolled all year round.

East Corrimal Beach, located to the north, is an off lead dog friendly beach. Once past the lagoon on Corrimal Beach this dog friendly area begins.
