The base of the cliffs on the northern side of the beach had eroded with the result of caves being formed. As of 1965, two caves were described. The first known as ‘K5’ which accommodated at the time in tis entrance, a little penguin rookery, was described as being wide and as having a ‘massive rockfall’ and decoration including flowstone.
