The southern Windang half the beach (NSW 379b, also known as South Beach) has developed since the 1950s and the opening of the bridge across the entrance to Lake Illawarra, with the Windang SLSC established in 1957. It has a large car park, with a caravan park on the northern side and the lake entrance channel on the south side, with park and picnic facilities along the shore. Waves are a little lower at this end of the beach however rips continue to dominate, with the intervening bars usually attached to the shore (Fig. 4.306). The lake entrance was trained in 2000, with the construction of an internal rock training wall and an outer rock wall connecting to Windang Island. As a result the lake now only flows out across the southern end Windang Beach.
