How To Get To Glasshouse Rocks?
From the cemetery at Narooma is where you can see a view of the Glasshouse Rocks NSW.
The land near the rocks is private property, so you cannot access it that way.
So, you'll drive on Glasshouse Rocks Road Narooma and keep left along Cemetery Road to Narooma Cemetery.
When you get to the cemetery, turn right and park in the cemetery car park.
Then, you'll see the cliff in the distance in front of you.
You'll walk up to view the Glasshouse Rocks from the top of the cliffs.
My View
I stood at the clifftop near the end of the cemetery to view the rocks. When you are facing the cemetery from the road, it's straight ahead.
It's high up on the cliff, so there's no access there down to Narooma Beach. This is where I have taken my photography behind the fence.

When is the best time to visit Glasshouse Rocks Narooma NSW?
At low tide, you can walk down to the beach along the sand near them.
According to the locals, for you to get down to Narooma Beach, there is access nearby the cemetery. Off to the right of the building, you'll find a white picket fence with a trail to get to the beach.
However, it's difficult and not suitable for everyone. Visit NSW gives details on how to get down to the beach. Be extremely careful because they warn it's not signposted and not suitable for children, the elderly, and mobility-impaired people.

Glasshouse Rocks
Glasshouse Rocks is an amazing set of rock formations located in Narooma that overlook the Tasman Sea. I was attracted to them for their photography qualities. Then, they drew me in for their wonder and formation.
The rocks are made of Narooma Chert. It took about 50 million years to form the geological structure. And they were formed somewhere between 510 and 440 million years ago.
Named for their distinctive glass-like formation, the beach and rocks provide a mesmerizing natural landscape perfect for a calming stroll or an awe-inspiring picnic spot. So, pack a picnic for lunch.
From the shore, you can see Montague Island in the distance where you can go on a seals and dolphins tour.
Make sure to also spot some local wildlife such as lizards, birds, and kangaroos!
Pillow Lava
Nearby on the beach is the Pillow Lava made of the lava flow of a submarine volcano.
You’ll surely remember your visit to see Glasshouse Rocks as I do.

Being from the Midwest in the US, whenever I get near the ocean I just love to sit and soak it all in. The wind, water, everything!
I can imagine that would be amazing experience for you, Jordin.
You have such beautiful locations to photograph. I need to add Australia to my list.
Thank you Heather. Hope you travel Australia.
50 million years is a long time! Prehistoric rocks
Thank you, Hera. Yes, amazing rocks.
What a great place. Looked like you had it all to yourself. Is that normal?
Thank you Cindy. During the summer months, that’s when the beach is patrolled. There were some surfers at the beach, too. It was the beginning of spring. Plus, it wasn’t school holidays. So, it’s probably normal for then.
Your photos are always so breathtaking. It’s like seeing a new place through your thoughts.
Thank you Sandi.
