A low rocky bluff forms the southern boundary of Bournda Beach. On the south side of the rocks is a 200 m long northeast facing beach (NSW 665) that ties Bournda Island to the coast. The beach can be reached on foot from the Bournda Beach picnic area 500 m to the north. It is moderately protected from most swell and receives waves averaging less than 1 m, which decreases toward the island and usually maintains an attached bar, with a rip against the northern rocks. However there are numerous rocks scattered over the beach and a reef extending 150 m off the southern corner.
