Day Hikes Sydney

CAVES BEACH, GHOSTIES BEACH… Central Coast Coastal Adventure!!!

During my 3 Years of hosting **We Hike to the Bar** there's been quite a few jaw-dropping moments of scenery... **Ghosties Beach** and its caves is most likely the top moment of 2026. Legend Hiker Heidi (90+ hikes) and a few others mentioned some Newcastle hikes, and while researching - I just can't find a lot. If you have some suggestions, please send them to me. What did I find is a tad closer to Sydney, and this will be a gem of a 15kms coastal journey... **GHOSTIES BEACH - CAVES BEACH - SWANSEA HEADS** Low tide is 230pm (essential for Ghosties Beach caves), so here's how we'll hike **Swansea (north) to Catherine Hill Bay for lunch (cars parked here)... then finish with the short and beautiful Ghosties Beach Cave loop!** From AI (sorry, I hate using it), the highlights: * **Ghosties Beach Sea Cave:** A massive, dramatic rock tunnel and sea cave system located at the southern end of Ghosties Beach. (Note: It must be explored strictly during **low tide** for safe access). * **Pink Caves:** Vibrant, naturally pink-hued rock formations and coastal sea caves near Catherine Hill Bay. * **Scenic Coastline & Beaches:** Sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and passes past several picturesque spots including Pinney Beach, Catherine Hill Bay, and Moonee Beach. * **Vantage Points:** Elevated headland views looking up and down the New South Wales coastline. We'll need drivers. Of course! We love you. I think good pick up points are Parramatta, Wolli Creek, and Chatswood. It's a 1hrs 20min drive from Chatswood. We'll start with those 3 locations and work from there. **Catherine Hill Bay Hotel "The Catho"** is a heritage-listed (from 1875) joint with really good food... as soon as you look at this pub, you won't forget it. It's a classic, and there's nothing like it. This looks to be a great day out... See you soon. MJ **THE LOGISTICS.** a) Gratuity $15 Cash or PayID on the day. b) Drivers, you'll be compensated by your riders. Thank you! c) Last minute Cancels and No Shows... *I'm not even going to say it.* d) Have a backpack filled with... well, you know all this shit by now. Make a list. Be safe.
