The Pinnacles in Beowa National Park is a captivating snorkeling spot where the vibrant blue Pacific meets striking white-sand cliffs capped with red gravel clay — a spectacular Tertiary-era erosion feature. While the 1.1 km Pinnacles Loop walking track offers scenic coastal views, the real draw below the waterline is the clear, calm inshore waters hugging the beach. Set between Eden and Pambula on NSW's Sapphire Coast, this shore-entry spot offers a unique blend of geological wonder and protected swimming, with views south to Lennards Island and north to Haycock Point.
