Beach Q 66 is one of the longer beaches on the cape at 27 km in length. It trends north from the mouth of Balurga Creek, past the small deflected mouth of Christmas Creek to an inflection in the shore adjacent to Christmas Creek. The entire system is backed by a massive beach-foredune ridge plain, containing up to 70 ridges, extending between 1-5 km inland, which are in turn backed by a 1-3 km wide interbarrier depression and a 4 km wide inner Pleistocene barrier system, making it one of the larger beach ridge systems in Australia. The modern beach has a moderate slope and is paralleled by a continuous 100 m wide low tide bar. It is backed by casuarina-capped beach to low foredune ridges. Mangrove-lined Christmas Creek has been deflected up to 6 km to the south with several recent beach ridges to low spits between the creek and the shore. There is vehicle access to and along the beach read more
