Beach T 843 commences on the northern side of the rocks and rivulet and continues to the northwest for another 1.2 km to the next 300 m long section of boundary rocks and reefs. The outer bar continues well seaward of the rocks with waves breaking up to 500 m offshore, and reforming to break across the inner bar which is usually drained by a north-trending central rip, together with a rip against the southern rocks. Active dunes extend inland north of the rivulet reaching up to 1.2 km inland with older vegetated parabolic dunes extending up to 2.5 km inland. Beach T 844 continues for 1.6 km north of the rocks trending to the northwest and then curving to west in lee of the of the Sandy Cape rocks. The wide high energy surf zone continues with waves breaking up to 500 m offshore, decreasing slightly into the northern end. A large rip usually drains out against the southern rocks, with a smaller rip towards the northern end. The dunes continue along the beach with some stability amongst the modern dunes, and older vegetated dunes continuing up to 3 km inland. Blue Lagoon wetland lies 1 km inland impounded at the rear of the active dunes. read more
