Newhaven Beach

Description

Fishing from the jetty, boating, sailing, beach walks and swimming - what can't you do at Newhaven Beach? The area also has several small sandy bays at the base of the rocky cliffs along Forrest Avenue perfect for picnics and enjoying the beautiful views of Western Port Bay and San Remo. Swimming is best during high tide, as mudflats appear during low tide, and there is also a strong tidal current running parallel to the beach. Newhaven is also home to a yacht club, boat ramp and large jetty.
