The (above) pic was taken in front of the Mollymook Beach Waterfront Reef Break apartments. Whereas the large pod of dolphins (below) including young ones visited Mollymook Beach in front of the surf and golf club. The ocean swimmers swam out to be among the dolphins at Mollymook as they entertained many onlookers including tourist

According to ‘Wikipedia’ there are 40 extant species named as dolphins. Dolphins are known to be extraordinarily intelligent animals who also display culture, something which was long-believed to be unique to humans (although now recognised in various species). Dolphins are altruistic they have been known to stay and help injured individuals, even helping them to the surface to breath. The Bottlenose dolphins are the most common and well known type of dolphin and can weigh up to 650 kg.

Mollymook dolphins are very most popular, with their beautiful streamlined bodies, friendly ‘smiley’ faces and intelligent behaviour. They are a relatively common sight along the entire NSW coastline. This species’ dark grey back and light grey belly colouring acts as camouflage and helps protect them from attacks by their natural enemies – killer whales and sharks. They can often be seen in bays and estuaries opening to the sea, and also ‘surfing’ in waves as they are forming and breaking.

Mollymook Beach Waterfront accommodation operator Ken Banks donned flippers and swam out with his camera to take some excellent pic’s of the board riders handling these huge swells. Tourist can relax on their private deck at Waterfront and be entertained by the exceptional skills of the local surfers. Local surfing photography is available for viewing and purchase at Stan Bury Princes Highway Ulladulla store, Beach Art & Framing.

.

Former world surf champion Pam Burridge operates surfing Mollymook and surfing Ulladulla schools in this majestic Mollymook Ulladulla area. From teaching ‘grooms’ all the way to mature adults, as she says “it’s never to late to learn to surf … it is such a great sport for your physical fitness & keeps your mind active as well”. As a result she has seen a huge increase in the ‘mature learners’ age bracket and most are women. Check out Pam Burridge web site for further details: Web – www.pamburridge.com     or phone Pam on 0409 767 176

Once people begin to learn to surf, its not uncommon to become a little addicted. Just getting out there in the salt water feels so good in itself. Then the adrenalin begins to lock in as you mount that first wave, coming down the face is an incredible feeling, maneuvering to beat the white water break. Once you’ve mastered the basics it’s practise, practise, practise!!! 

There are surf board riding clubs up and down the coast where you can join in and make some great friendships along the way.

Mollymook Whale watching is best during the September – October period when they are returning with their calves heading south. At this time of the year it is not uncommon for them to put on a lovely display in front of the Mollymook Beach Waterfront accommodation to the delight of tourist / guests. 

During their journey north during June and July they are still obvious but usually a little further out to sea and not performing as they normally do on their return journey in September – October as they continue their migration along the NSW coastline.

 October 

Now is the best time to witness these majestic creatures. At present there are 100’s of whales moving south with their calves in plain view from our Mollymook accommodation facilities.

This morning 12 were counted in the space of an hour frolicking in the waters off Mollymook Beach. So I paddled out on my surf ski and sat in awe of these gentle giants, I took numerous pictures as you can see on this page which are also presently on display in the Mollymook News

Accommodation at Mollymook Beach Waterfront, guests can relax on their private deck or sit inside and enjoy uninterrupted ocean views of the whales during their migrating season and dolphins and board riders surfing the Mollymook Reef Break.

.

Alternatively should guests wish to get “up front & personal” they receive 20% discount off their fare to cruise Jervis Bay on board Dolphin Watch Cruises.
