Slade Bay is an open, east to north-east facing bay lying between the northern Blacks Point and Slade Point, 5 km to the south-east. Blacks beach forms the western shore, with an extensive tidal creek system draining out in the southern corner, and a low energy sandy shore running from the creek in a north-east direction to rocky Slade Point. There is residential and holiday development along the northern half of Blacks beach and continuous foreshore development backing the Slade Bay beach. Black Point is a 60 m high, basalt outcrop that has two exposed, east facing beaches (1109 & 1110) along its north-eastern tip. These beaches are 300 m and 400 m long respectively, backed by vegetated bluffs rising to 60 m, with houses on top of the bluffs and a 20 m wide cobble to boulder high tide beach at their base. At low tide the boulders give way to a low tide sand bar. Slightly protruding rocky points and rock flats border the ends of each beach. read more
