- Surfing - both Culburra and Warrain are great surfing beaches and Culburra has a surf school if you’re up for lessons
- Fishing - beach fishing in front of the house; rock fishing is popular at both points.
- Boating - the boat ramp just a few minutes down the road from Sur le Sable at the mouth of the Crookhaven River for you to explore the waterways of the Shoalhaven and Crookhaven Rivers or out to the open sea
- Cycling - Culburra is flat and there is a cycle track that meanders around both beaches to the Lighthouse taking in Curley’s Bay and Woolumboola Lake
