Slade Point is a prominent, 1 km long, 35 m high, rocky headland, capped by a 20 m high water tower and fronted by an extensive, rocky foreshore. Along the north-east facing section of the point is a 200 m long pocket of steep high tide sand and cobbles (1113) fronted by a 100 m wide, rocky intertidal zone. A grassy reserve backs the southern end of the beach. While the beach is relatively safe and protected by the rocks at high tide, it is a very hazardous location at low tide. A sand bar runs seaward of the rocks and provides some surf during strong Trade winds.
