Gentle Annie Beach (830) is 4.2 km long and consists of a narrow high tide beach, with 2 to 3 km of backing mangroves and beach ridges, and 1 to 1.5 km of intertidal sand flats. There is no development apart from an access track along a drain toward the southern end, and a few fishing shacks on the northern tip.
