If you are planning a Wollongong property investment, it's worth bearing the appeal of beachfront living in mind – especially if you are looking to attract active tenants with a love of the great outdoors.

And thanks to a recent awards presentation, waterfront living in Wollongong has never been more appealng.

Yesterday (December 6), two local beaches were hailed at the Keep Australia Beautiful Clean Beaches Awards – a fact that Wollongong lord mayor Gordon Bradbery said is testament to the city's ongoing efforts to look after the waterfront.

He said: "We have some of the state’s most outstanding beaches in our city and region, we all share in this recognition and are challenged to continue our efforts to make our city’s beaches the best and responsibility for making sure they’re in pristine shape."

North Wollongong Beach was honoured with the Sydney Water award for water conservation in 2012, and was also among the highly commended finalists in the best overall beach category.

Meanwhile, City Beach was honoured with the NSW award in the friendly beach category, and was also recognised in the community partnerships and action award category.
