Beyond the mangroves is the beginning of a relatively straight, northwest-facing, 5 km long section of more exposed shore backed by 15 km high red bluffs, formed of deeply weathered Permian siltstone and shale. Fronting the bluffs are four near continuous beaches (NT 38-41) each bordered by protruding sections of the bluffs and rock flats. Each beach consists of a high tide beach and 200 m wide low tide bar (terrace), forming a thin veneer of intertidal rock flats. Beach NT 41 terminates at White Cliff Point, a 20 m high white siltstone point capped by red laterite. Tucked inside the northern side of the point is a curving, northeast-facing, 200 m long strip of high tide sand (beach NT 42), fronted by 200 m wide ridged sand flats which grade into 1 km wide mud flats. Mangroves form the northern boundary and extend for another 6 km along the bay shore to the mouth of the Moyle River read more
