The western side of Long Island consists of 12 km of mangrove shore in the south and 9 km of predominantly rocky shore to the north. Along the high tide mark of the rocky shore are a series of five sand and rocky beaches, all fronted by 100 to 200 m of rock flats with a scattering of mangroves and backed by densely vegetated slopes rising to between 40 and 80 m. The beaches are calm when the easterlies are blowing and only receive waves from westerly winds.
Dick Creek beach (1218) lies immediately to the south of the small creek mouth and consists of a 600 m long, west facing, curving high tide beach and rock flats.
