South of Dune Rocks are 1.5 km of rock-dominated shore that end at 40 km high Point Lookout. There are three beaches along this section; the longer Frenchmans Bay, backed by 50 to 70 m high bluffs, and two small, rock-bound beaches located in gorges in the cliff face. North Gorge lies out on Point Lookout and is located in a 50 m wide, 40 m deep, 300 m long gap in the rocks. The small sand beach (1586) is wedged deep in the gorge, with access via a walkway from the main road. Rock platforms border each side of the gorge and a sand bar of sorts is usually located toward the entrance. While waves are relatively low by the time they break over the bar and squeeze into the gorge, this is a very hazardous place to swim in the surf. Waves build water up against the beach and then pulse seaward every minute or so, forming a rip that drains the entire gorge.
