Cape Paterson Bay Beach Rock Pool — Attraction in Cape Paterson

When the sun is shinning and the wind is still, its the perfect place to take in the beauty of this coastal area.

Perfect place for a good swim or to splash in the water. The main rockpool is graded, with a depth of around 1.60m. You can sit on the edge or jump in. Plenty of rocks for kids to climb and explore as well.

There's a ramp you can drive down to get closer to the beach, otherwise there is car parking on the hill to the side or by the caravan park. Toilets are a couple minutes' walk from the shore.
