Hargraves Beach
Hargraves Beach is a sandy ocean beach at Noraville on the northern Central Coast, with rocky shelves and natural formations that give the shoreline its character. The beach sits beside coastal reserve and dune country, where local conservation work helps protect the foreshore. Access is via small residential streets around Elizabeth Drive; visitors are advised to park at nearby Jenny Dixon Reserve and walk down. It is unpatrolled and has been described as difficult to access, so swimming should be approached with care and changing coastal conditions in mind.
