The Nowra Hill Lookout offers panoramic views of the Shoalhaven and Jervis Bay areas. It is a pleasant stroll along the Commodore's Walk to the the Lookout. Seats are placed along the walk and at the lookout. The runway at HMAS Albatross may also be viewed from the lookout.
There are some good local bushwalks within the Nowra district, notably Bens Walk which is an easy, shady and well-graded riverbank walk winding beside the Shoalhaven River, affording excellent views of the local district. On the bank of the Shoalhaven River in North Nowra is the Wildlife Park which offers over 100 species of Australian wildlife.
