Mollymook - Fast Facts

Mollymook
Attractive beach resort holiday destination just north of Ulladulla

Mollymook is located 225 km south of Sydney via the Princes Highway. In recent times Mollymook has become part of Greater Ulladulla in the sense that the coastal development is continuous from Ulladulla through Mollymook to Narrawallee. It is known, particularly amongst the surfing community, to have some of the finest surfing beaches on the New South Wales coast.

Located at the northern end of Ulladulla, Mollymook has two golf courses and patrolled surf beach. The name is thought to derive from an albatross, the 'Mollymawk'. The first settlers to take up residence in that particular area built a house called 'Molly Moke' in 1859 where Garside Road is today.
