Ngkala Rocks are two large and several smaller sets of coffeerock outcropping on the beach. The rocks are part of the slow soil forming process that goes on beneath the dunes. They are actually an accumulation of dark, soluble minerals that cement the sand grains to form the dark, coffee-coloured 'rock'. As the overlying dunes are eroded, the rocks are exposed on the beach. The rocks extend right across the high tide beach, requiring vehicles to negotiate a difficult, sandy track over the backing 20 m high dunes. The two main rock outcrops are 500 m apart, with a beach (FR2) identical to Manann in between, apart from the rocks in the swash and inner surf zone. A strong permanent rip runs off the southern rocks. read more
