Forrest Caves - Newhaven
Alistair McLean There are quite a lot of timber steps from the carpark to access the beach. The surf is dangerous and not patrolled - there were four fatalities in 2024.
You need to time your visit carefully with low tide. Even at low tide, you need to wade through shallow water across rocky outcrops, so wear shorts and shoes that can get wet.
You can also see inside the cave through a large hole from the rock shelf above but cant access it from above.
Allow about 30 minutes for a stroll from the carpark to the cave. Its worth the visit. Kids need to be carefully supervised and keep an eye on the time and the tide once you are inside the cave.
