To the left, about 150m from the from the entry, there is a very large cave with an air space. The entrance is at 28m and comes to 14m from the surface. The cave is called Billingshurst's Cave. There are two chambers, both very large, and in the inner one is an air pocket although the air is foul. There is a visitors book to sign. There are no restrictions in the cave but it is very large (150 meters), so take care to have plenty of air to go in and out. Right on Reqqa point the is a cave at 35 metres on the left hand side. This is known as the Chimney or Bottle Cave as it is shaped, exiting at 58m. The sand in this cave is heavy so there is not much silting.
