The Boyne River is a medium size upland river that reaches the coast between rocky Canoe Point and the southern end of Boyne Island. Houses occupy the bluffs along the northern side of the river mouth, while the low Canoe Point has a large picnic area. There is road access and parking at the picnic area and a coastal walking track running right around the point to Tannum Sands, providing good access to both beaches. The point consists of low rock flats, with a series of low, vegetated recurved spits forming the western beach. Beach 1431 lies immediately south of the rock flats and is exposed to the southerly waves, resulting in a similar high tide beach, with a 100 m wide low tide bar that is bounded by rock flats, as well as having some rocks toward the centre of the 500 m long beach. This beach is accessible from the car park at the northern picnic area, as well as from the road at the southern end. read more
