Shellharbour (also known as Shellharbour
Village) is a suburb located in the Illawarra
region of New South Wales, Australia. It also
gives its name to the local government area,
City of Shellharbour.
Shellharbour is centred on the small
recreational harbour named Shell Harbour. It
has two main beaches, Shellharbour Beach,
which runs to Barrack Point and Shellharbour
South Beach, which runs toward Bass Point.
Shellharbour is undergoing extensive
development with the construction of many
new retail outlets and home-units.
The main street is Addison Street, with many
footpath cafés and shops and the Roo Theatre
Company, running through the town and
ending with the Ocean Beach Hotel opposite
the harbour.
Adjacent to the harbour is the Beverley
Whitfield saltwater swimming pool and across
from the Shellharbour Beach facilities is the
Beverley Whitfield park, containing the Tom
"Scout" Willoughby cricket oval.
