- Watonga Rocks
Nestled along the stunning coastline of Port Macquarie in New South Wales, Australia, Lighthouse Beach is a gem that captivates visitors with its golden sands, rolling waves, and dramatic natural landmarks. Among its most iconic features are the Watonga Rocks, a striking cluster of rock formations that rise from the shoreline like nature’s sculptures.

- Tidal Pool Adventures: At low tide, the rocks reveal hidden worlds. Explore crystal-clear pools teeming with marine life—tiny crabs, darting fish, and vibrant anemones—perfect for curious kids and amateur marine biologists.
- Photographer’s Dream: The contrast of the charcoal-hued rocks against turquoise waters and ivory sand is striking, especially during the golden hours of sunrise or sunset. Don’t miss the chance to capture the lighthouse silhouette against a fiery sky!
- Coastal Walks & Wildlife: Follow the Port Macquarie Coastal Walk linking Lighthouse Beach to Miners Beach. The trail offers sweeping views of Watonga Rocks and the chance to spot dolphins surfing waves or humpback whales breaching offshore during their annual migration (May–November).
Plan Your Adventure
- Swim Safely: The southern end of the beach is patrolled by lifeguards—stick to flagged areas, as currents can be strong.
- Explore Responsibly: Avoid climbing fragile rock surfaces to protect both yourself and the environment.
- Best Times to Visit: Early morning for peaceful solitude, or late afternoon for magical lighting and cooler temps.
