Head down to @thewaterfrontshellcove to check out the incredible artwork created by @samwellwellwellwellwell, @digitalprofet_, @edenhhobbs and @inkhunterartist, who braved the elements to bring this masterpiece to life for this year’s @promenartshellcove festival.
While you’re there explore more than 25 amazing sculptures featured along the Waterfront Shell Cove. And this Sunday 19 October listen to tunes from Cassy Rae from 11 am–1 pm on the boardwalk.
After a stroll sit back and relax with a drink and enjoy some of the delicious food from one of the many waterfront restaurants and cafes.
PromenArt Shell Cove will be on exhibition until the end of this month.

⏳ A glimpse into the past, when reaching Killalea Beach didn’t mean trekking down a steep hill — you could drive straight onto the sand for a swim or surf. 🚙🌊
One of Shellharbour’s favourite beaches, Killalea was just as popular in 1978 as it is today.
