Wollongong is a beautiful, outdoor-loving beachside City, at its best when bathed in sunshine. Perhaps that is why it always comes as a shock when the wet weather rolls in and everyone is filled with gloom. But a rainy day does not have to mean moping about at home or flicking on Netflix. There is still a great bunch of things to enjoy around town. But… we think there is nothing better than a long lunch down at Pepe’s On The Beach whilst watching the raindrops fall into the Sea. Rainy days are good for the Soul, right? So pull out the gumboots, brolly, your book or headphones and splash to it!
