Kiama's Little Blowhole Gains Tourist Attention

The Little Blowhole, a smaller but more reliable natural blowhole located on Tingira Crescent near Kiama, New South Wales, is drawing increasing numbers of visitors. Unlike the main Kiama Blowhole, it operates with modest swell, providing a steady display of water spouts that locals say makes it more entertaining for tourists.

Nearby business owners have noticed the uptick. Hayden Presland, who runs Becks Coffee just steps from the site, says more travelers are stopping by, while Michael Bowden of the Cin Cin wine bar reports customers often watch the blowhole while enjoying a drink. Bowden, a recent winner of a local small‑business award, hopes the attraction will gain official recognition as a top tourist spot.
