Darkes Forest Land was used mainly for farming, grazing and shale mining. Growth was minimal until the 1880's and 1890's. Coal Mining was established in 1911, with townships growing up around the coal mines.
Major features of the area include Boomerang Public Golf Course, Illawarra Golf Course and Darkes Forest Riding Ranch.
At the northern end a large car park backs the surf club, while a road runs the length of the beach past Bulli Park to the residential area in the south. Good access via walkways is provided the length of the beach.
