State Route 151 is a collection of routes in the Illawarra region, south of Sydney that are strung together to form a major through route from Wollonong to Dunmore. The route can be used as an alternate route to the Princes Highway (SR60) which takes an inland route. SR151 follows the coast most of the way instead. In fact part of the route (Shellharbour to Dunmore) once formed the main route from Wollongong to the South Coast. Some of the route forms part of Grand Pacific Drive.
