It is alleged the man approached several young girls about 1pm and engaged them in conversation before indecently assaulting them.
The man was confronted by members of the public and he attempted to leave the pools, but was detained by several people until police arrived.
The 64-year-old Indian national was charged with four counts of indecent assault on a person under the age of 16 and refused bail to appear at Wollongong Local Court on Wednesday.
Police are urging anyone who was at Kiama rock pool on Tuesday and have information on the incident to contact Crime Stoppers (1800 333 000) or Lake Illawarra Police (4232 5599).
