Things to Do in Cheviot

• Gore Bay
  This coastal retreat, east of Cheviot, is safe for swimming and surfing. This secluded beach is popular with holiday-makers and there are also some good walks in the area. Explore the nearby rock pools that are full with marine life.
• Conway river and beach
  Although not safe for swimming, the Conway River is good for surfcasting at the northern end.
• St Anne's Lagoon
  Just north of Cheviot, this lagoon is a wild-life reserve with picnic tables and is surrounded by English trees that change dramatically with the seasons.

• Golf
  The town boasts a 12-hole golf course.
