The northern tip of Moreton Island consists of a 1.5 km section of high bedrock between 20 m high North Point and 120 m high Cape Moreton. Lighthouses are located on both headlands and the whole area is Commonwealth land. This ridge of bedrock is the only rock on the large and otherwise sandy island. Between the two headlands is an open, north-east facing, predominantly rocky bay, within which are four small pocket beaches. All four are backed by steep cliffs and bluffs rising in places over 60 m. There are steep access tracks down to each of the beaches.
Tallallebela beach (MOR2) lies in the centre of the rocky bay. It consists of a 50 m long high tide beach at the base of 80 m high bluffs, fronted by a low tide beach up to 100 m long, bordered by exposed rock platforms and steep cliffs. Access is via the steep backing bluffs. The beach faces north-east and receives waves averaging over 1 m, which maintain a trough along the beach, usually drained by one rip against the northern rocks.
