Reviews of East Corrimal, NSW
"East Corrimal is a relaxed and scenic coastal suburb"
East Corrimal is a relaxed and scenic coastal suburb just north of Wollongong, offering residents the best of beachside living while remaining conveniently close to the city. Located around 5.01 kilometres from Wollongong’s CBD and 63.13 kilometres from Sydney by car, East Corrimal is well-connected for both local and city commuters, with a train station nearby and easy access to the Princes Highway. This suburb is especially popular with families, retirees, and professionals seeking a quieter lifestyle without sacrificing convenience. East Corrimal is home to East Corrimal Public School, a well-regarded primary school, and is close to Corrimal High School and other educational facilities in the broader Corrimal area. The suburb is dotted with leafy parks and playgrounds, including Phil Adams Park and Corrimal Beach Park, and is just a short stroll from the beautiful Corrimal Beach, a major drawcard for surfers, swimmers, and walkers alike. The coastal cycleway runs through the area, perfect for active residents. While East Corrimal is mostly residential, it’s just a short trip to Corrimal’s main shopping strip, which offers supermarkets, cafes, takeaway spots, and services. Locals enjoy the peaceful village feel while still being close to larger amenities and Wollongong’s bustling town centre. East Corrimal combines seaside charm, green spaces, and accessibility, making it a highly desirable spot on the Illawarra coastline.
