Warden Head protrudes 1 km to the east, with the sheltered Ulladulla Harbour to the north, while its southern side is well exposed to southerly waves. Along the 1 km long southern junction of the head are four adjoining exposed beaches (NSW 472-475), all backed by steep slopes rising to 30 m (Fig. 355). The first beach (NSW 472) is a 170 m long pocket of sand bordered by converging 80 m wide rock platforms, which leave a 100 m wide gap in the middle for waves. These maintain a low tide terrace, however the entire system is drained by a permanent rip through the rocky gap. It is backed by densely vegetated slopes and a blufftop car park off the headland road.
