Red Point is as the name describes, the red-coloured rock headland of Port Kembla. Today, there is a popular lookout which was installed to highlight the point’s great cultural significance to the local Wadi Wadi community as it is upheld as a place for fishing, meeting, and observing the sea.

This has also improved overall pedestrian access to Fisherman’s Beach and viewing of the Five Islands, which are able to be seen from the accessible pathway. Along this pathways you will find, local Elders and artists of the Coomaditchie United Aboriginal Corporation’s artworks in a 21 metre long art installation on the sea wall. 

In addition to its artistic offerings, Red Point is located near the historically significant Hill 60, a former World War II coastal defence site. Visitors can walk through the remnants of gun emplacements and bunkers, gaining insight into Australia’s military history. The area also offers stunning coastal views, making it perfect for leisurely strolls and photography. Red Point’s unique mix of creative energy, historical depth, and scenic beauty makes it a must-visit spot in Port Kembla, whether you’re an art enthusiast, history buff, or simply seeking a relaxed seaside experience.

Inspired by Red Point, Port Kembla’s Red Point Arts Association, is a community-driven hub that supports and showcases the work of local artists. Visitors can explore their open studio and gallery, enjoy free exhibitions, and purchase unique handmade crafts directly from their creators. Open from Thursday to Saturday, the space invites interaction and creativity, making it an inspiring stop for art lovers.

One of the key attractions is Red Point Arts’ monthly Makers’ Market, held on the second Saturday of each month in the leafy courtyard of Red Point Arts. This lively, family-friendly event features live music, food stalls, and an array of handmade goods, creating a vibrant community atmosphere, all inspired by Port Kembla’s distinctive red rocks.
