Caves Beach Coastal Walking Track
This five-kilometre seaside trail is primed for whale watching — and has network of sea caves at the southern end of the beach.
Overview
Along the coast, just before Newcastle, lies the whale watcher's haven that is Caves Beach. The coastal bushland trek is an easy trail that ends in the clifftops above the beach, just south of Pinny Beach. If you're there for the whales, the track is best for watching the northern migration from May till July. Located in Wallarah National Park, the trail is five kilometres return and takes between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. The southern end of the beach is also home to a group of sea caves that are accessible at low tide and should not be missed.
