EDITOR'S NOTE: Pink Caves is now closed to visitors due to safety issues.
Just two hours north of Sydney, this magical sea grotto at Deep Cave Bay can be found a short stroll from the northern end of Moonee Beach in Munmorah State Conservation Area. As you approach, you’ll notice the mouths of rockpools are tinged with a fleshy hue, but this is nothing compared to the sea channel that flows into the main cave system, which blushes a vivid shade of bubble-gum pink. This vibrant colour also has the effect of turning the waters a particularly dazzling shade of turquoise. When the tides push the incoming waves through the cave’s central channel, the thunderous sound reverberates around the rocks, amplifying the rumble as it travels deeper into the system.
