Can you fish on the SS Alkimos wreck?

Not directly — the wreck is a protected heritage site. Fish the surrounding sand gutters and reef structure; don't anchor on the wreck or target it with lead lures that may damage it. Land-based casting toward the area around the wreck (without snagging the structure) is fine.

Where exactly is the SS Alkimos wreck?

Around 400m offshore from the Shorehaven café lookout — the rusted bow is visible from the foreshore. The reef and weed around the wreck create the productive structure that pulls bait close to shore.

Is Alkimos Beach kid-friendly?

Yes for the Shorehaven café precinct in calm conditions with adult supervision. Sealed paths, café, public toilets and easy beach access suit families. Heavy mulloway-style night fishing is not the right setup for kids; daytime herring sessions are.

How do I get to the beach sections north or south of Shorehaven?

4WD tracks running north and south of the café strip — verify current access arrangements before committing because the area is still under development. The Shorehaven strip itself has standard sealed access from the café precinct.
