The Caves at the southern end of the beach are a must see at low tide. In summer the beach is patrolled at this end. Dog friendly area is at the northern end of the beach starting in front of the Caves Beach Coastal Bar & Bungalows.

There are some amazing walks to do through the Wallarah National Park that is located at the southern end of Caves Beach. You can walk all the way to Catherine Hill Bay & swim in the secret rock pools or walk to Murrays Beach & stop for lunch at Murrays Restaurant. There are also several much shorter walks to enjoy with spectacular views. One word of warning, the tracks are not all very well marked. Definitely recommend researching first on a trail walking or hiking app or please ask if you would like detailed info.

A beautiful hidden beach just south of Caves Beach. Great for swimming or relaxing on the beach. A 10 minute walk in from the road on a gravel path with some stunning coastal views on the way. Dogs allowed on leads, although rules aren’t strictly enforced. The walks into the National park lead from here.
