Baragoot Beach (NSW 632) commences on the southern side of the 100 m long rocks and curves gently to the south for 3 km to 15 m high Cuttagee Point. The beach dams the two northern valleys, with 40 ha Baragoot Lake occupying the northern valley and a deflected creek (the second valley), which is contained in the small coastal segment of Biamanga National Park. The beach is backed by a low foredune cut by Baragoot Lake in the north, and with the deflected creek and swamps behind to the south, and the main road behind the swamps, with the creek mouth usually blocked in the southern corner. The best access is in the north at the car park on the south side of the usually closed lake mouth, and in the south at Cuttagee Point where a picnic area and car park are located. The beach receives waves averaging 1.5 m, which maintain a single bar, usually cut by rips every 200-300 m, together with permanent rips runs out against the northern rocks and Cuttagee Point.
