South West Rocks
South West Rocks is where the Macleay River's journey ends as it meets the sea. This beautiful area has clear aquamarine waters; tiny coves; a peaceful bay and is surrounded by lush green forest, fringed by light-coloured sands.
The area has eight beautiful beaches, numerous river tributaries and Arakoon State Recreation Area. Trail Bay Goal is a must-see. First occupied in 1886, it is built from pink granite quarried nearby. Enjoy fabulous views from Smokey Cape Lighthouse opened in 1891.

Underwater Recommendations
There is plenty of fish life to be found at Fish Rock and the dive sites in the area, including Queensland Groupers, Batfish, Wobbegong sharks, Bullseyes and Lionfish. In good conditions the wreck of the Agnes Irving can be dived. The highlight must be Fish Rock Cave. This is an adventurous dive through a more than 100 meter long tunnel teeming with life such as crayfish, more wobbegongs, sponges and Gorgonain fans.
Getting There
South West Rocks is located about 80 km north of Port Macquarie, off the Pacific Highway. Using the Smithtown turn-off it is 20 km to South West Rocks from the highway.

Encounters with Grey Nurse Sharks - A diving adventure
by kerryb
- Of all the books I have ever read on Australian dive sites all of them list South West Rocks, more specifically Fish Rock Cave in New South Wales as a premier diving spot with the longest underwater sea cave in the Southern Hemisphere and of course the resident Grey Nurse Sharks.
