凯阿玛喷水孔岬角保护区位于澳大利亚新南威尔士州 Kiama（凯阿玛）的海岸线上，是当地最著名、最具代表性的海岸景点之一，这里拥有壮观的天然喷水孔、海景步道、历史建筑、家庭友好型设施等著名的喷水洞

喷水孔洞口约 2.5 米宽，在合适的海况（如东南涌浪）下可喷出 超过 30 米高 的浪柱。

地质形成可追溯至约 2.6 亿年前 的火山岩层，长期受到海水侵蚀形成洞穴与通道。

1797 年，探险家 George Bass 首次记录了这个喷水孔，它随后成为知名景点。

The Blowhole itself is the signature attraction. The opening in the rock face is about 2.5 metres wide, and under favourable sea conditions (especially a SE swell), the blowhole can send plumes of seawater more than 30 metres high.

The geological origins go back around 260 million years ago, when volcanic lava flows formed the rock that now shapes the coastline at Kiama. Over time, erosion sculpted the collapses, tunnels and passages — giving rise to the blowhole phenomenon.
Timing matters: the blowhole is best experienced when the ocean swell and wind combine (commonly a SE swell). On calm days, it may be subtle or just a “whoosh.”
It’s been a magnet for visitors for more than a century — first recorded by explorer George Bass in 1797 when he anchored in what is now Kiama Harbour.
