Why they chose this property
Catherine Hill Bay pairs heritage charm with incredible nature, and the real magic sits just south along the headlands. From the village you can join sandy paths and cliff-top trails to Moonee Beach and Ghosties Beach, two secluded stretches known for clear water, rock platforms, and big-sky views. Moonee feels wild and open, perfect for sunrise walks and shell-hunting at low tide. Around the next headland, Ghosties is more sheltered with dramatic sandstone and tucked-away pockets for a quiet swim when conditions are calm. The famous Pink Caves sit off this coastline too, best admired only at safe low-tide windows, with swell and conditions checked first.
Walkers can link beaches and bush through Wallarah National Park and the adjoining coastal reserves, mixing firm sand, headland lookouts, and shaded forest. Pack water, a hat, and your camera, then make a loop back to the village for a meal at the Catho Pub or a seaside bite at Caves Coastal.
