About 7.45am, police received reports of a motorist driving dangerously in Callala Bay.
Shortly after, officers with the Lake Illawarra Police District spotted the vehicle on the Princes Highway at Gerringong and pulled the motorist over.
The driver, a 48-year-old man, underwent a breath test which returned a positive result.
He was taken to Lake Illawarra Police Station, where a secondary breath test returned an alleged result of 0.338 - over six times the legal limit.
The Callala Bay resident was charged with high-range drink-driving and his licence was suspended.
He was granted bail to appear at Kiama Local Court in November.
