A NSW Police spokesperson said officers from Wollongong were called to the location several times on Saturday and Sunday.
"They attended the North Beach area where there were large gatherings and several people were moved on," the spokesperson said.
"There were no formal infringements issued but police did direct people to return home.
"We are really reinforcing that social distancing measures are still in place and for people only to leave home for essential purposes".
The concerns were raised as fine warm autumn weather brought people out along with several eateries reopening in the area for takeaway meals.
A Wollongong City Council spokesperson said the council was continuing to work closely with and respond to NSW Police requests for support to discourage people from socially congregating.
The council is also encouraging everyone in the community to adhere to the Government guidelines on social and physical distancing.
"It's important we continue to work together and to support all in our community to minimise the risk of Coronavirus or COVID-19 and its spread," the spokesperson said.
"By working together, we're helping to protect our community's most vulnerable members. Council, as an organisation, will continue to support and act upon the advice of both Federal and State Government in the ongoing delivery of our services"
Public infringement notices handed out in the Illawarra over the weekend were mostly in the early hours of the morning.
At 12.30am on Sunday police responded to reports of a group consuming alcohol and playing loud music at a park on Davidson St, Warilla.
Officers spoke to a 20-year-old man who was unable to provide a reasonable excuse for being away from his residence.
Following inquiries, police confirmed he had recently been charged for failing to comply with COVID-19 restrictions, and prior to that had received a PIN for the same offence. He was charged with not comply with noticed direction and will appear at Port Kembla Local Court. Two others were issued with warnings and directed to return home.
At 1am on Monday three men in their early 20's were each issued a $1000 PIN for non essential travel after attending a fast food restaurant on the Princes Highway, Nowra, and sitting at an indoor table together.
Staff informed them the restaurant was only open for take-away meals but they continued to eat their meals before leaving.
Officers were patrolling nearby and after speaking to staff, stopped their vehicle. The 20-year-old driver told police he had driven from Bexley to buy a boat with two friends.
