One kilometre south of Archer Point is a smaller point from which extends a now disused jetty. In previous years it was used to service the Leigh Creek tin mine, located 8km to the south. Today it forms the southern boundary of a 200m long east facing beach. The beach is composed of cobbles at high tide, with sand lower down, and a sand and rocky bar exposed at low tide. During the Trade Winds, waves up to 1m break over the bar. The slopes behind the beach are cleared, and there is car access to the northern end where boats are launched at mid to high tide, and a road to the jetty running along the southern end of the beach.
