Another kilometre to the south is the more exposed Ngumuy or Turtle Beach (NT 1042), a 100 m long strip of sand wedged in between laterite bluffs to the south and calcarenite bluffs to the north. Waves average over 1 m and produce a 50 m wide surf zone with a permanent rip flowing out against the southern rocks (Fig. 5.120). However if swimming or surfing be careful of the rip and the rugged rocky shore to either side.
