Bombo is a CityRail railway station on the South Coast railway line. The station serves the adjacent beach, Bombo Beach, not much else. Bombo station probably deserves the distinction of being the closest to the ocean in Australia, being virtually on the beach. In 1974, a violent storm carried sand and sea foam across the railway line and the adjacent Princes Highway into Kiama cemetery.
The station has 1 side platform, but has a platformless crossing loop and an extra siding, both of which are often used for passing freight trains. There is a quarry next to the station.
