Blackfellows Caves is a small fishing settlement named after the sea caves eroded into the low limestone bluffs that outcrop on the shore right at the end of the main road (Fig. 4.5). Here are two beaches either side of the outcrop. To the east is the 1.4 km long eastern beach (31), which is sufficiently protected by the offshore reefs to act as a boat anchorage just off the bluffs. The reefs protect the entire beach, through wave height does increase from less than 0.5 m to up to 1 m at the eastern end, where the beach also narrows and is backed by a high tide cobble beach. A narrow continuous bar parallels the beach, with permanent reef induced rip circulation dominating the eastern end. read more
