Between Beach 745 and Palmer Point is a 7 km section of coast that runs around the base of a 500 m high spur of the Malbon Thompson Range. Near-continuous beaches, interrupted by granite outcrops and small headlands, fringe the spur. All five beaches are composed of coarse granitic sand and all have steep high tide beaches, with 30 to 50 m wide low tide bars. What differentiates the beaches is their integrity between the rocks, their orientation and degree of rock outcrop along the beach. There is no land access to any of the beaches and no facilities, although some are used for fishing camps.
Beach 746 consists of six scallops of sand, extending for a total of 2 km along the base of the steep slopes, and facing north-east. Each sand patch is bordered by low, granite outcrops and all have varying degrees of rocks on the beach and bars.
