Monday’s find comes more than a week after Mark James, 56, disappeared at Lighthouse Beach.

It is not yet known if the remains found on the beach are linked to Mr James’s disappearance.

Police spent days searching the land and water for the man to no avail after his family found his red RAV4 at Tacking Point lighthouse.

The search had been assisted by Polair, Surf Lifesaving NSW, Marine Rescue and the State Emergency Service.
