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 1070 occupies the north side of a low rocky promontory and has a substantial amount of rocky, as well as sandy, tidal flats off the 250 m long beach. It ends at a small, mangrove-fringed tidal creek. On the east side of the creek is beach 1071, a 600 m long, curving, north-east facing beach, with a mixture of sand and rock flats in the intertidal zone. Beach 1072 is even more dominated by intertidal rock flats. It is 300 m long, occupies a low promontory and faces almost due north.
