Shellharbour Village is the small historic area of Shellharbour City located between Barrack Point and Bass Point in the Illawarra region of New South Wales, Australia. The village has two main beaches, Shellharbour North beach, which runs to Barrack Point, and Shellharbour South Beach, which runs out toward Bass Point. Shell Harbour was originally known as Yerrowah and later as Peterborough.[1]

The main street of Shellharbour Village is Addison Street, with many sidewalk cafés and shops, running through the town and ending with the Ocean Beach Hotel opposite the town's idyllic harbour. Adjacent to the Harbour is the Beverley Whitfield saltwater swimming pool and across from the Shellharbour North Beach facilities is the Beverley Whitfield park, containing the Tom "Scout" Whilloughby cricket oval.
