Stanwell Park () is a northern coastal village of the Illawarra plain, south of Sydney , Australia . The town is sandwiched between the Royal National Park and the Pacific Ocean . It was named after Mr. Gibbon's estate. The area was originally inhabited by the Wodi Wodi Aborigines . The first Europeans in the area were the survivors of the wreck of the "Sydney Cove" in 1797 . When George Bass travelled along the coast looking for other survivors, he discovered coal in the area at Coalcliff . Stanwell Park is famous for Paragliding and Hang Gliding activities from Bald Hill down to its lovely beach, which lies nested between high sea cliffs. Rock Climbing can be done at Stanwell Tops which offers a great view over ''The Park''. Highlight is the beach with its two lagoons. The Helensburgh-Stanwell Park Surf Life Saving Club ( SLSC ) offers Beach Safety and beach activities such as the Nippers on sundays in summertime. Links |
