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 1444 lies on the northern side of the rocks and headland, and consists of a narrow strip of north-west facing high tide sand welded up against the backing rocky slopes, fronted by a 100 m wide, low gradient low tide bar, with rocks flats to either side.
