Back Beach (NSW 135) is located west of the town, between the Southern (eastern) Wall and the small entrance to South West Rocks Creek, hard against 20 m high Point Briner. The beach has built out against the training wall following its construction in 1898, and is now backed by low 200 m wide vegetated dunes, then mangroves. The 1.6 km long beach faces northeast and receives waves that decrease in height down the beach, averaging about 1 m by Point Briner. These maintain a low tide terrace, which is only cut by rips following higher waves. However strong tidal flows at the creek and in the deep river mouth require caution. The beach can be reached by a footbridge across South West Creek and by 4WD via the western end read more
