Caves Beach

Caves Beach is located in the Swansea peninsula near Newcastle. It is a popular holiday destination in New South Wales, Australia. The beach is known for a large number of caves along the coastline. It’s a great spot to spend the day with the kids. There are lots to do at the caves beach such as surfing, swimming, and bodyboarding. The beach itself is accessible all the time. The beach is patrolled by lifeguards from the September/October school holidays through to the April school holidays.

You can explore the caves during low tide. There are many different sized caves to explore, some of them are big and you can walk through. Others are with narrow openings that you can crawl through. Make sure to check the tide timetable before getting into the caves as it is dangerous if you are trapped inside the caves during high tide. Allow time to return before the tide changes. These caves are pleasantly cool on a hot summer day and offer plenty of exploring potential.
