Between Racecourse Head and Big Hill Point, 3 km to the south, are two east-facing beaches (NSW 153 & 154), linked by a sandy foreland in lee of the low elongate 1 km long Delicate Nobby reef. Racecourse Beach (NSW 153) extends for 1 km between the 30 m high head and the low reef. A vegetated dune, then gravel road backs the beach, with a council camping area behind the southern end. The beach receives some protection from Delicate Nobby and usually has an attached inner bar cut by four beach rips, as well as permanent rips against both ends.
