This is a lovely spot for an early morning or sunset walk up to The Skillion. A good work out and great views. Just around from terrigals main beach. The haven beach is a bit more calm for small children. Many picnics and BBQs are held here.
Local dive boat charters leave from the ramp here, and on a calm day the snorkelling along the right hand side is nice. There is always a couple of local pelicans hanging out here.
