Piccaninny Beach (NSW 587) is located between 20 m high Blackfellows and Jabarrah points, both composed of steeply dipping metasedimentary rocks, which form jagged rock platforms. The beach is 150 m long, exposed to wave averaging 1.5 m which combine with the fine beach sand to maintain a usually wide bar cut by strong permanent rips against both headlands. It is backed by a low foredune then a small sloping valley drained by a central creek. The road runs around the rear of the beach providing good access.
