Public Transport and Paths
Bus routes run through Kianga, connecting the town to other places along the South Coast. There's also a special path called the Narooma to Dalmeny Cycleway. This path goes right through Kianga along the coast. It's perfect for walking or riding your bicycle.
Kianga's Beaches and Lake
Kianga is home to three lovely beaches: Kianga Beach, Kianga Reef Beach, and Carters Beach. These spots are great for enjoying the ocean.
Kianga Lake and Marine Park
Kianga Lake is a special part of the Batemans Marine Park. It is known as a Sanctuary Zone. This means that all types of recreational fishing are not allowed here. The lake's entrance marks an important line in the ocean. North of this line, the ocean is a General Use Zone. South of the line, it changes to a Habitat Protection Zone. This helps protect different parts of the ocean environment.
Local Services
Even though Kianga is small, it has some important services. West of Kianga, there is a sewage treatment plant. This plant helps to manage wastewater for Kianga and nearby towns like Dalmeny and Narooma.
