Jamnesia Surf Camp

Top choice in Kingston, Blue Mountains & the Southeast Coast


This surf club with accommodation and a chilled vibe is a great place to catch the swell. There are plenty of boards to rent, decent basic rooms with shared kitchen facilities (I-tal cooking lessons are offered) and a rustic outdoor bar that has live music on alternate Saturdays. Multi-night lodging packages are also offered, including meals and surf shuttle.

If the surf's not rising, practice pulling your tricks in the camp's skateboard bowl.
