The new towers are designed to provide dedicated coverage and capacity to Manyana and central Ulladulla.
Optus Territory General Manager for Central West New South Wales, Tom O'Dea said the towers were a $1 million investment.
"The new sites will cater to seasonal traffic, ensuring the local community and holiday makers in Manyana and Ulladulla can stay connected with reliable mobile reception even during peak times," he said.
"These new towers follow on from Optus' recent announcements of a new site at Burrill Lake and co-location on an existing site at Lake Conjola, which have provided enhanced mobile coverage and capacity to the areas."
Not all new mobile towers have been met with enthusiasm by resident. In 2018, Dolphin Point residents were upset by the installation of an Optus tower at Woodburn, near Burril Lake.
The tower did not require a development application or council approval.
Optus' 4G network now covers 97.3 percent of the Australian population.
