Information

Originally built by a mining company for coal transportation, the shape of the breakwall is how this bay received it’s name. The spoon shape of the bay is visible on your way down the pebbled path to the beach, and from the lookout on the Caves Beach walk to Pinny Beach.

The mining venture, with Silver Valley Minerals, didn’t proceed after it’s construction. However, the breakwater now stands as a reminder and provides valuable protection from the swell at the beach.

You’ll find the entry point in the same location as the Caves Beach walk to Pinny Beach. Head up Caves Beach Road, and adjacent to Copper Valley Close is an open space with a locked gate. This is your entry point. Follow the path and it will lead you straight down to the bay.
