Hunter Bay is a 600 m wide, south-facing bay located at the northern end of the lagoon, bordered by Signal Point and the main island jetty to the east and Dawson Point to the west and containing two beaches (LH 11 & 12). Jetty Beach (LH 11) is a narrow strip of high tide sand that extends from the north side of Signal Point for 270 m, under the 60 m long jetty to the boat ramp. The 20 m wide sandy beach is backed by low calcarenite bluffs and fronted by intertidal calcarenite rock flats extending 50 m offshore. Waves are usually low to calm, with a shallow lagoon floor off the beach, except around the jetty where it has been dredged. The fortnightly cargo ship from Yamba docks here on the high tide after weaving through the northern Lagoon reefs.
