Between Yarrawonga Point and West Hill Island is an unnamed bay, 8 km wide at the entrance between the two points. It extends 5 km inland and contains 20 km of low energy shoreline, dominated by narrow, sandy beaches, extensive intertidal sand flats, and backing tidal creeks and mangrove-covered tidal flats, with the creek channels meandering across the tidal flats at low tide. There are vehicle tracks to the backing five beaches, but apart from some patches of cleared grazing land, there is no development. The beach on the western side of Yarrawonga Point (1188) is a very low energy, highly crenulate strip of sand that snakes off the west of the point and faces generally south-west into the bay. The beach consists of a narrow, relatively steep high tide beach fronted by patches of mangroves and intertidal sand flats 200 to 300 m wide, which end at the meandering channels of Marion Creek. The beach is backed by some low, casuarina-covered beach ridges and patches of cleared sloping land, with the Yarrawonga Point track running roughly parallel to the back of the beach. A number of shacks are located on Yarrawonga Point and overlook the eastern end of the beach, together with a few on the low beach ridges. read more
