Description
Coalcliff SLSC
Established 1924
Coalcliff, as the name implies, is the first of the mining towns that looked to the slopes and the coal seams for their livelihood, and later to the sea for their recreation. The beach fronts a steep, narrow valley with sides rising 300m to the backing plateau. The coal mine is located towards the rear of the valley. A railway used to run from the mine to a small exposed harbour on the rock platforms about 2km south of the beach. Lawrence Hargrave Drive now winds between the mine and the town area, with access to the beach limited to a car park behind the surf club and street parking.
