The western side of Rodds Peninsula is a 3.5 km long, west facing shore containing Spit End in the south; low, rocky Flora Point in the centre; and Richards Point to the north, the northernmost point of the peninsula. Between Flora Point and Richards Point are four sandy beaches, which gradually become more exposed toward Richards Point. Beach 1445 lies immediately beyond the rocks and has a straight, sandy high tide beach and a small foredune, fronted by a 150 m wide bar, with red rock flats to either side, as well as some rock reefs about 100 m off the bar.
