Little Cove Beach, a five minute walk towards the National Park from the eastern end of Hastings St is a truly special place to tie the knot, with a wooden staircase leading down to this stunning beach surrounded on either side by natural rock formations.
This spot is only recommended for intimate weddings due to parking difficulties and it’s only suitable during an outgoing tide from half-tide onwards. The amount of sand on the beach varies throughout the year with less sand early in the year after the summer storm season.
