South of Clairview the shoreline continues to decrease in wave energy, while increasing in tide range, as it enters the more protected shores of Broad Sound. The shoreline is a mixture of some higher ground, as outliers of the Connors Range form a few headlands including Clairview Bluff and North Red Bluff, with low-lying beaches and tidal flats in between. The highway runs a few kilometres inland and the coast is backed by grazing land and tidal flats, with no recognised vehicle access to the coast south of Clairview Bluff. North Red Bluff (1213) is the southernmost beach on the west side of Broad Sound. It extends for 2 km to the north-west of the 20 m high bluff as a crenulate, low energy beach, backed by some higher ground of the bluff, then low, narrow beach ridges that end in a 500 m long recurved spit. One to two kilometre wide tidal flats and a few mangroves front the beach, while high tide salt flats link it to the mainland. read more
