Hargraves Beach Rock Sculptures

Hargraves Beach Rock Sculptures Central Coast New South Wales Australia

These wonderful rock sculptures are on Hargraves Beach on the New South Wales Central Coast north of Sydney. Formed over thousands of years by wind rain and the sea, they have formed some amazing shapes. The largest one originally had a larger top, but too much of a good thing has led to it falling off. What’s left still look good though.

Getting There

Located on the Central Coast not far from Norah Head Lighthouse, Hargraves Beach is not that easy to access, especially the southern end where the rocks are. We parked in Elizabeth Dr, Norah Head where we found two access ways onto the beach. Clearly marked, these run between residential properties. On reaching the beach we walked south a few hundred metres until we reached the rocks.

The Beach

The beautiful sandy beach was almost deserted when we visited, probably due to a few passing showers. However, there were several surfers out enjoying themselves. Swimming is not recommended, because this is an unpatrolled beach. You can still enjoy the beach and relax on the sand.

The Rock Sculptures

Located at the southern end of the beach, the sculptures are amazing. Having taken thousands of years to form, each is unique. As the weathering is an ongoing process, the shapes keep changing. This is particularly noticeable on the largest one, which had a section break off a few years ago.

What Did We Think?

This was an interesting and fun place to visit. You could make a full day of it an enjoy the beach, or simply visit to see the rocks.
