The three southernmost 'beaches' in Broad Sound lie on Rosewood Island, an island and tidal flats with spots of high ground at the mouth of the Styx River, and on Charon Point, the northern extremity of a spur of high ground running north from Marlborough. There is no vehicle access to and no development at either site.
Charon Point (1216) has at its northern tip a 600 m long, slightly protruding, narrow beach, backed by slightly higher ground and fronted by a few hundred metres of rock and tidal flat, with dense mangroves to either side of the beach.
