πŸ“– About Caves Beach

Caves Beach near Angourie on the NSW Clarence Coast is a striking 2.5-kilometre beach named for the dramatic sea caves carved into the headland at Shelly Head, formed in 180-million-year-old shales. The exposed, east-facing beach features energetic surf with multiple rips and is best suited to experienced swimmers and surfers; a walk-in campsite at the northern end makes it popular with adventurous visitors. Its rugged scenery, sea caves, and proximity to world-class Angourie Point break make it a standout spot on the Far North Coast.
