The Municipality of Kiama is bounded by Shellharbour City in the north, the Tasman Sea in the east, Shoalhaven City in the south and Wingecarribee Shire in the west. The Kiama Municipality is a predominantly rural area with urban townships along the coast. The main towns and villages are Kiama, Kiama Heights, Gerringong, Gerroa, Kiama Downs and Jamberoo. The Municipality encompasses a total land area of 259 square kilometres, including national parks, beaches, rivers and rainforests.
