Croome Creek forms the southern end of Moore Park Beach. Between the creek and the large Burnett River mouth, 8 km to the east, is a low lying, dynamic section of shore that is variously eroding and building out in response to migration of a large sand spit called Barubbra Island; which in turn is influenced by floodwaters and sand delivered by the Burnett River.
Welcome Creek beach (1494) is variously exposed to and protected from waves, depending on the location of the Barubbra Island sand spit. Even when exposed, it is fronted by 200 to 500 m wide tidal flats and shoals. Since the northern Burnett River channel was closed, the spit has been extending and may completely cut off the beach from the sea.
