The three southernmost 'beaches' in Broad Sound lie on Rosewood Island, an island and tidal flats with spots of high ground at the mouth of the Styx River, and on Charon Point, the northern extremity of a spur of high ground running north from Marlborough. There is no vehicle access to and no development at either site. Rosewood Island has two low energy 'beaches' on its northern, north facing extremity. One lies on the west side of the tip (1214) and one to the east (1215). The beaches are 2 km and 1.8 km long and face north-west and north-east, respectively. They consist of low, narrow strips of high tide sand fronted by up to 1 km wide tidal flats, then the deeper water of the river channels. They are backed by low beach ridges and fringed by mangroves. read more
