Three kilometre long Rabbit Island consists of northern and southern rock sections, with maximum elevations of 75 m and 96 m respectively, joined by the southern beach and its low foredune, with a 1 km2 mangrove swamp behind the beach. The three beaches (1081, 1082, 1083) are similar in character, all facing east-north-east, and are 700 m, 300 m and 650 m in length respectively. Each beach is bounded by densely vegetated, 20 m high headlands that are fringed by rock flats. The beaches are backed by low, narrow, casuarina-covered foredunes and receive waves averaging 0.5 m, which maintain a moderately steep high tide beach fronted by a 100 m wide low tide bar. The southern beach also has intertidal rock flats along its southern half. Apart from four primitive camp sites there are no facilities on the island. read more
