Dudgeon Point and its protruding Dudgeon Ledge form the southern entrance to low energy, tide dominated Sandringham Bay, which lies to the west of the point. To the south of the point is a 2.2 km long sandy beach (1129) that runs essentially due south to Mount Hector. The beach receives waves averaging 0.5 m and consists of a moderately steep high tide beach fronted by a 100 m wide, continuous low tide bar. There are rock flats at either end of the beach as well as some in the centre, with a small reef just offshore. The beach is backed by a densely vegetated, 50 m wide foredune and a small swampy lake, then cleared grazing land. read more
