To the east of Hervey Creek is 6 km of coast that trends east-south-east, has numerous rocky outcrops, a few small creeks and seven generally curving to irregular low energy beaches, fronted by extensive sandy tidal flats averaging 300 to 500 m. The beaches are backed by gently rising slopes that have been cleared for grazing. There are farm tracks to the coast and beaches, but otherwise no public access and no development or facilities. Beach 1068 begins on the southern side of Hervey Creek as a low energy, mangrove-fringed sandy shore and extends out into the bay for several hundred metres. It has a sandy high tide beach, with the tidal shoals and channel of Hervey Creek extending up to 1.5 km off the beach. It ends at a small, mangrove-fringed creek, beyond which is beach 1069, a 400 m pocket of curving low energy beach, the eastern half of which is dominated by sandy, mangrove-covered tidal flats. read more
