Redhead Beach is at the northern end of a nine mile stretch of coastline, and is known for its stunning cliffs, rocky outcrops and shark tower. Redhead Beach, patrolled in the warmer months, is home to the Redhead Surf Life Saving Club, and is popular with swimmers and surfers alike.
Blacksmiths Beach is at the southern end of a nine mile stretch of coastline, which runs from Redhead down to the Swansea Channel. A popular family beach, which is patrolled in the warmer months, Blacksmiths Beach has an active surf lifesaving club, with surfing and swimming popular activities.
Catherine Hill Bay is a tiny heritage village, where you feel as though you have stepped back in time. Largely untouched by development, the coastline looks as it would have 100 years ago, with a stunning beach, popular for fishing, surfing and swimming. The beach also has the unusual icon of a large coal-loading jetty, which has only recently been decommissioned. Patrolled in the warmer months, Catherine Hill Bay beach is also home to the Catho Classic in January, and has featured a number of cult surf movies.
Caves Beach is well-known for its namesake - a network of sea caves at the southern end of the beach, which can be explored at low tide. The beach runs for just 300m to the north to Swansea (Hams) Beach. With well maintained BBQ facilities and picnic areas, Caves Beach is a great family day out.
