  • Pink Caves - closed to the public

    NPWS · Partial closure

    Pink Caves - closed to the public

    Pink Caves are closed to visitors because they are extremely unsafe to visit. The caves are filled with water at high tide. Even at low tide they can be dangerous, as the ocean swell sends unpredictable waves sweeping into the caves and across the rock shelf. Sudden rogue waves can cause serious injury and may drag visitors across the rocks or out to sea. There is no lifeguard service in this area and access for emergency services is limited. There’s no approved walking track to this location. Access to the caves involves walking over a rock shelf which is slippery, uneven and dangerous. Visitors should take care when traversing all rock shelves and coastal areas located within Munmorah State Conservation Area. For further information call the NPWS Local Area office on 02 4972 9000.

    Rock fishing safety

    Rock fishing is a popular activity for many national park visitors and your safety whilst fishing is important. Parts of the NSW Central Coast are a declared high risk area due to large swells and hazardous surf conditions. In these high risk areas under the NSW Rock Fishing Safety Act 2016, you are required by law to wear an appropriate life jacket. This includes children and anyone helping you fish. This is regulated by NSW Fisheries and poses an on the spot $100 fine if non-compliant. Before rock fishing you should always: check for park alerts or closures check the tides, swell and weather conditions before setting out and never fish in exposed areas during rough or large seas or in electrical storms. Wear your life jacket, appropriate light weight clothing and non-slip footwear Stay safe, always watch the local conditions, never turn your back on the ocean and never fish alone. If you’re in doubt don’t go out.
