Beaches Guidebook
Swim, surf, stroll, fish, explore
Historic Catherine Hill is a must see & do! Enjoy a swim or surf at this magnificent beach, grab some lunch or a cold beer at the iconic Wallarah Hotel (Catho Pub to the locals), walk north to the Shark Hole or south to Ghosties; there are rock pools to enjoy, caves to explore and you may even see an echidna on your stroll.
NB: We recommend you always check tides, swell & weather conditions before and during your time here. Please consider these if planning to walk on the rocks as the rocks (like all coastal areas) can be dangerous and the ocean can be unpredictable.

Fish from Blacksmiths breakwall into the Swansea Channel or take a dip on the other side at beautiful Blacksmiths Beach. The breakwall often allows for a quiet corner and this beach is a great place to learn to surf. It is lifeguard patrolled throughout the warmer season. One of our favourites.
