The eastern beach (1132) is a remnant of its former self as the northern end of the coal storage facilities, including a 500 m long seawall, lie on top of most of this beach. What is left is a 100 m segment that abuts the western side of the seawall and an even smaller portion on the eastern side. It is separated from the main beach by a low tide rock reef and backed by access tracks leading to the coal facility.
