Burrewarra Point is to the north of Broulee and 25 kilometers to the south of Batemans Bay on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia.

On the point is a lighthouse maintained by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority. The current structure was built in 1974. It was converted to solar power in 1984. It was never a manned lighthouse. Its light characteristic is a group of four flashes every fifteen seconds emitted on a focal plane at 62 metres.

The next lighthouse to the north is the Warden Head Lighthouse at Ulladulla. The next lighthouse to the south is on Montague Island off the coast near Narooma.

The remains of concrete igloo buildings of No. 17 Radar Station used by the Royal Australian Air Force during World War II can be found at Burrewarra Point.
